White House Admits to Altering Biden's Testimony Transcript to Special Counsel Robert Hur in Federal Court

Jun 1, 2024, 05:50 PM

The White House has admitted in federal court that it altered the transcript of President Joe Biden's testimony to Special Counsel Robert Hur to make him appear less incompetent. This admission came as a result of a federal FOIA lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch and the Oversight Project. The Biden administration was forced to acknowledge the discrepancies between the official transcript and the audio tapes. Additionally, the Justice Department has argued that releasing the audio tapes could lead to AI manipulation, potentially resulting in deepfakes.
