'The content of the reporting is consistent with what we have said many times publicly,' Jen Psaki, above, said of the leaked phone call between Biden and Ghani  

Daily Mail: Nothing to see here: Psaki REFUSES to discuss Joe's leaked call with ex-Afghanistan President that reveals Biden KNEW Afghan army was collapsing, because it was 'private' 

* 'The content of the reporting is consistent with what we have said many times publicly,' Psaki told reporters Wednesday 

* Biden focused much of his last call with Ghani on his 'perception problem' in the fight against the Taliban 

* 'Changing perception' is political spin, not a national security strategy,' Rep. Jody Hice said 

* Biden pressed Ghani to bring together the government's most prominent figures for a press conference. 'That will change perception' 

* Biden said the US would provide aid if Ghani could project to the world that he 'had a plan' for fighting the Taliban 

* Republicans have called for Biden's impeachment over Afghanistan, but Mitch McConnell on Tuesday threw cold water on the idea 

White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday she was 'not going to get into' the bombshell July 23 phone call between President Biden and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, where he implored the Afghan leader to 'change the perception' of the war with the Taliban. 

Psaki refused to comment as Republicans tore into the call where Biden told Ghani to try and show the world they were beating the Taliban 'whether it is true or not.' 

'I'm not going to get into private diplomatic conversations or leaked transcripts of phone calls,' the press secretary told reporters Wednesday.

WNU Editor: There is not much that White House press secretary Jen Psaki can say. The contents of the leaked transcript are very clear. 

At least they are not saying the transcript is wrong.
