On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Inside Politics,” CNN Senior Justice Correspondent Evan Perez discussed concerns regarding the vetting process of Afghans from the unit the suspected shooter of two members of the National Guard belonged to.
Perez stated that while these individuals were vetted, “there’s been a struggle, too, to try to make sure that the vetting was appropriate. I’ll tell you this, there were examples of people who essentially bought backgrounds from brokers.”
He explained, “There were thousands of members of this unit that this suspect came from, the NDS, that worked in Afghanistan directly for the CIA. There’s a reason why they got sort of expedited entry into the United States after the fall of Afghanistan. And so, those people were vetted a number of times.”
However, Perez reiterated the challenges faced: “But there’s been a struggle, too, to try to make sure that the vetting was appropriate. I’ll tell you this, there were examples of people who essentially bought backgrounds from brokers.”
He continued, “And so, the question—the problem with Afghanistan has been that there’s no functioning system to be able to check those data, the background check information. And it’s been a problem that has worried the FBI and DHS since the fall of Kabul, Afghanistan.”
