WH scrubs Biden gaffe from transcript after calling Afghan president wrong name

[Counselor706]

"And General Austin is — just met with Kayani and I’m waiting for the briefing on that," Biden said Thursday.

But the official White House transcript of the briefing now says "Ghani" instead of Kayani.
