Typical, say one thing, do another. And you wonder why the Egyptian government is reaching out to Russia?
If you click through to the video on the article, you see the lovely Jen Psaki saying, “No, we haven’t done it”, despite Patrick Leahy and other officials saying well, yes you did.

Adding to the confusion over its Egypt policy, the Obama administration reportedly has decided to suspend aid to the military-backed government on a temporary basis — despite avoiding taking a public position on the matter.
The Daily Beast reports that, according to a U.S. senator and unnamed administration officials, the administration has temporarily suspended most of the $1.3 billion in military aid, as well as the delivery of weapons and economic aid amid a review of the financial support.
The move would be a step beyond what the administration acknowledges publicly. To date, officials have said that aid is merely under review, and that they would not make a determination on whether the ouster of ex-President Mohammed Morsi qualifies as a coup — because such a finding would, under U.S. law, require the administration to cut off aid.
