The Internet isn't conducive to subtext so I'm going to draw this out. If you're reported to have said the President should drop out and your denial is "I didn't say anything" and doesn't include you saying he should stay, you're saying he should drop.
Ted Lieu, the caucus vice chair (outranks them all), was reported to be among them. He later denied it, saying he did not speak on the call. This was confirmed by a source familiar. Not sure what to make of that.
One possible explanation is that Ted Lieu was doing the leaking and ended up with his name on the calls to drop. Punchbowl cites a "senior house Democrat on the call" and a "member of leadership" as sources, which could be him. Punchbowl says there were multiple leakers.
