During a press conference after top military leadership testified to a Senate panel Tuesday, she was grilled by the Press Corps over contradicting the testimony.<\/p>\n<p>During the hearing, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley and head of U.S. Central Command Kenneth McKenzie testified that they recommended Joe Biden keep 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. Psaki said the recommendations were mixed and suggested leaving behind that number of troops would require a surge at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecretary Austin specifically said if you stayed there at a pot force posture of 2,500, certainly you\u2019d be in a fight with the Taliban and you\u2019d have to reinforce,\u201d stated the press secretary. \u201cSo what should everybody take from that? There was a range of viewpoints as evidenced by their testimony today.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NEW?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NEW<\/a> In Senate testimony, Gen.

On Tuesday, the founder of the group trying to get the evacuees out said landing rights were denied to his flight because it is an international charter airline.<\/p>\n<p>The flight contained 28 U.S. citizens and 83 green card holders who are trying to get out of the country following the disastrous withdrawal of military forces. An anonymous administration official said he was unaware of the situation, but there is a process to check and verify the flight\u2019s passengers.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/centcom-chief-says-he-warned-biden-2500-troops-need-to-stay-in-afghanistan\/\">CENTCOM Chief Says He Warned Biden 2,500 Troops Need To Stay In Afghanistan<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>White House press secretary Jen Psaki speaks during a press briefing at the White House, Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2021, in Washington.
