As per the press briefing, Miller refrained from commenting on the authenticity or implications of the recently surfaced Pakistani documents.

Matthew Miller told media that the documents did not provide conclusive evidence that US influenced the ‘selection’ of a Pakistani leader. He also declined to talk about the ‘confidential discussions’ with Pakistani diplomats.

“The former Prime Minister of Pakistan’s visit to Ukraine coincided with Russia’s attack on a significant day. The US already expressed its concerns regarding the timing of his visit,” Miller added.
