Donald Trump ordered a complete withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan and Somalia after he lost the 2020 election, the January 6 committee said at their Thursday hearing.
The memo was written to the acting Secretary of Defense on November 11 to take effect on January 15, 2021 - just before President Joe Biden was meant to take office.
The revelation was made by GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who is retiring from Congress at the end of this year after facing opposition from Trump over his re-election.
Trump National Security Council Official Gen. Keith Kellogg said he warned the former president that it could be 'catastrophic' in a video played by Kinzinger.
He also played footage of Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Gen. Mark Milley stating of the US's then-ongoing conflicts there, 'Yeah we lost, we need to let that issue go to the next guy.'
Lawmakers say it's proof that Trump knew he lost the 2020 election.
'These are the highly consequential actions of a President who knows his term will shortly end,' Kinzinger said.
Trump's order was clearly never carried out.
Biden was widely criticized for his end-of-August 2021 Afghanistan troop withdrawal, which came amid the Taliban's lightening fast offensive to take back the country from its US-backed government.
But if Trump had withdrawn them earlier, 'it would have been a debacle,' Kellogg said.
At other points of the hearing, lawmakers showed yet more evidence that people closest to Trump in the lead-up to the January 6 attack knew that the election was settled

Liz Elkind of The Daily Fail, hard at work.
Does anyone actually believe this bee ess?
*my skinny pink ass he did
no
Then why didn’t it happen?
Between slamming President Trump and pimping for Piano-Boy zElenskyy, the Daily Fail never fails.
These people are nuts.
Kinzinger's entire narrative for the past year was "Trump refused to ever accept the fact that he lost." and now his evidence is that Trump ordered a troop withdrawl before Jan 6 because he knew he lost the election?
Are they that stupid, or do they just think that we are that stupid?
First of all it doesn’t prove he knew he “lost”the election fairly.
And secondly, how did Trump order something that never happened?
What does that even mean?
Hey, now - don't be going off into the weeds and away from The Narrative, asking REAL questions.
He should have done it in 2017.
The TeeVee is busy programming 30-40 percent of the population daily.
They're like Pavlov's dogs.
You answered your own question twice. They are that stupid and think we are too. Fthem.
That committee is absurd.
The rap on Trump is that he didn’t want to leave office no matter what.
So this showed Trump planned on leaving on time if he couldn’t get a different legal ruling.
How is that a problem?
BRAVP SOERRA!
So he simultaneously knew he lost the election, but then plotted to over turn the election through a mass revolt of people armed mostly with cell phones to take selfies and pictures of the Capitol. Got it
How long before the 1/6 committee accuses DJT of removing the tags off mattresses. SHEESH!
So why wasn’t this order immediately reversed like so many of Trump’s other policies?
Biden was very quick to start erasing Trump’s legacy….
Biden owns the Afghan fiasco.
