Claudia Tenney and was signed by 26 other House Republicans. In it, the lawmakers blasted Biden\u2019s handling of the withdrawal from Afghanistan after 13 U.S. service members were killed in a terror attack at the Kabul airport and call and demand Biden release the full, unedited and unredacted transcripts of his July 23 conversation with Ghani to the public.<\/p>\n<p>Biden urged Ghani to convince the world they had the Taliban under control, <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/31\/biden-reportedly-urged-afghan-president-convince-the-world-taliban-under-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mentioning the importance of \u201cperception\u201d when it came to the Afghan Security Forces<\/a> and the government\u2019s ability to prevent the Taliban from overthrowing the country, Reuters reported. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/09\/01\/house-republicans-demand-nancy-pelosi-begin-impeachment-proceedings-joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Group Of House Republicans Demand Pelosi \u2018Immediately\u2019 Begin Impeachment Proceedings Against Biden)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A transcript of the call <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/exclusive-call-before-afghan-collapse-biden-pressed-ghani-change-perception-2021-08-31\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">released by Reuters<\/a> outlined the July 23 phone call during which Biden pressured Ghani to \u201cchange perception\u201d by <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/31\/biden-reportedly-urged-afghan-president-convince-the-world-taliban-under-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">adopting a new military strategy to the public<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the period leading up to the withdrawal, your administration made a series of false assurances to the American people and our allies regarding the situation on the ground. The contrast between your Administration\u2019s official spin and the reality on the ground revealed a bewildering lack of coherence, strategy, and fundamental transparency. It appeared repeatedly as if your Administration was engaging in a deliberate effort to conceal the truth and mislead the American public. On August 31, new evidence emerged that suggests this is exactly what you have been doing since the start of this operation,\u201d the letter reads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA troubling new revelation arose that demands immediate explanation. Reuters released excerpts from a July 23 conversation between yourself and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani in which you reportedly pressure Ghani to \u2018project a different picture\u2019 than the reality on the ground \u2018whether it is true or not.\u2019 The transcripts also indicate that you promised to provide air support to the Afghan military, a vow you never fulfilled,\u201d the lawmakers continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis damning phone call further erodes your credibility and the confidence of the American people in your ability to lead. Your disturbing emphasis on \u2018perception,\u2019 a term you used four times in the Reuters excerpts of the call with Ghani, over substance and truth demands scrutiny and accountability,\u201d they added. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/08\/31\/biden-reportedly-urged-afghan-president-convince-the-world-taliban-under-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: \u2018Whether It Is True Or Not\u2019: Biden Reportedly Urged Afghan President To Convince The World They Had Taliban Under Control)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ THE LETTER HERE:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View (DAILY CALLER OBTAINED) -- 09.02.21_Letter to Biden on Ghani Call on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/522888769\/DAILY-CALLER-OBTAINED-09-02-21-Letter-to-Biden-on-Ghani-Call#from_embed\">(DAILY CALLER OBTAINED) \u2014 \u2026<\/a> by <a title=\"View Henry Rodgers&#039;s profile on Scribd\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/user\/527927298\/Henry-Rodgers#from_embed\">Henry Rodgers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe hereby request that you make the full, unedited and unredacted transcripts of your July 23 conversation with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani public so Congress can determine the degree to which you may have deliberately misled the American people leading up to and during this disastrously executed operation.
