White House outs intelligence officials, locations in Twitter post

"This morning, the President and Vice President met with their national security team and senior officials to hear updates on the draw down of our civilian personnel in Afghanistan, evacuations of SIV applicants and other Afghan allies, and the ongoing security situation in Kabul," wrote the White House on Twitter.

Showed as part of the video conference on the screen are the faces of key officials from the Office of the Security of Defense, the Director of National Intelligence, the Vice President, as well as the Central Intelligence Agency and officials from Doha Station.

The meeting comes as the situation in Kabul has taken a rapid downturn over the weekend, with the president of Afghanistan fleeing the country as the Taliban takes over, leaving US citizens stranded and masses of people attempting to get out of the country to no avail.

Additional US troops have been authorized to be deployed to Kabul to aid in the chaotic evacuation of thousands.
