The White House delivered a forceful briefing addressing the deadly ambush in Washington, D.C., where two National Guard members were shot by an Afghan national brought to the U.S. after the 2021 withdrawal. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt condemned the Biden-era vetting failures, honored the service of Specialist Sarah Beckstrom—who was killed—and Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolf, who remains hospitalized, and vowed the attacker will face the most severe consequences.
The briefing also renewed calls for tightened security, accountability, and President Trump’s accelerated deportation plans.
