Trump was impeached for less, but Jen Psaki refuses to address a phone call between Joe Biden and Afghanistan’s president where Biden pressured him into lying.

According to The Daily Wire:

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki refused during Wednesday’s press briefing to address an explosive report from Reuters this week that said Democrat President Joe Biden pressured Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani during a July phone call to make false claims about the nation’s fight against the Taliban.

In the call, Biden offered aid if Ghani could publicly project he had a plan to control the spiraling situation in Afghanistan. “We will continue to provide close air support, if we know what the plan is,” Biden said. …

In much of the call, Biden focused on what he called the Afghan government’s “perception” problem. “I need not tell you the perception around the world and in parts of Afghanistan, I believe, is that things are not going well in terms of the fight against the Taliban,” Biden said. “And there is a need, whether it is true or not, there is a need to project a different picture.”

On the call, Ghani reportedly said that he was facing a “full-scale invasion, composed of Taliban, full Pakistani planning and logistical support, and at least 10-15,000 international terrorists, predominantly Pakistanis thrown into this.” When the call happened, the Taliban had already seized control of approximately half of the country’s district centers.

Psaki was pressed on the issue during Wednesday’s press conference. “I’m not going to get into private diplomatic conversations or leaked transcripts of phone calls,” Psaki answered in-part the first time she was asked about the call.
