White House press secretary Jen Psaki bristled Wednesday when asked about President Biden’s claim that he pressed Chinese President Xi Jinping to be transparent about the origins of COVID-19 — growing flustered at what she interpreted as a suggestion he was lying about doing so.Biden said at a press conference last week that he urged Xi to be transparent during a 3 1/2 hour virtual summit with Xi. Biden said his spokespeople gave reporters the opposite impression because they weren’t in the room for parts of the November summit.“On COVID origins, you guys are talking a lot about sanctions for Russia if they dare to invade Ukraine. What about sanctions for China at any point for misleading the world about the early days of the global pandemic?” Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Psaki at her regular press briefing.
