“Hello Mr. President: Save me and my family,” the interpreter told The Wall Street Journal. “Don’t forget me here.”

On Tuesday evening, White House chief of staff Ron Klain told MSNBC he did not believe Biden had yet seen the Journal report, but that “we are going to try to get every person out.” | Andrew Harnik/AP PhotoWhite House chief of staff Ron Klain committed Tuesday to evacuate from Afghanistan the Afghan interpreter who helped rescue then-Sen. Joe Biden and two other senators from a snowstorm in 2008.

Mohammed also said he tried gaining access to the international airport in Kabul where the American evacuation effort was underway, but U.S. troops said only Mohammed could enter — not his wife and their four children. “It doesn’t matter,” he added. “We’re going to cut through the red tape. We’re going to find this gentleman whose assumed name [is] in that story. And we’re going to get him and the other SIVs out.”

The pledges from the top White House officials come after the U.S. military completed its withdrawal from Afghanistan on Monday, along with its frantic effort to evacuate American citizens and Afghan allies.
