According to multiple reports, including the Associated Press, White House press officials altered the official transcript of a call in which President Joe Biden referred to supporters of former President Donald Trump as 'garbage', despite objections from federal stenographers. The alteration involved changing 'supporters' to 'supporter's', which modified the meaning of Biden's remarks. Stenographers reportedly cited the change as a 'breach of protocol' and 'spoilation of transcript integrity', raising concerns about a potential violation of the Presidential Records Act.
