White House Altered Biden's 'Garbage' Remarks Transcript Despite Stenographer Concerns, Potential Records Violation
Nov 1, 2024, 01:51 AM
The White House has reportedly altered the official transcript of a call in which President Joe Biden referred to supporters of Donald Trump as 'garbage,' despite objections from the official government stenographers. According to sources and internal emails obtained by the Associated Press, the original transcript documented by the Stenography Office did not include an apostrophe after 'supporters,' indicating Biden was referring to all Trump supporters as 'garbage.' The White House press officials changed the transcript to include an apostrophe ('supporter's'), suggesting he was referring to a specific supporter. This alteration is considered a breach of protocol and potentially a violation of the Presidential Records Act. The incident has led to conflicting records between the Stenography Office and the White House Press Office.
