The Associated Press reports press officials altered the official transcript of a call in which the US president appeared to take a swipe at supporters of Donald Trump
White House press officials reportedly altered a transcript of a call in which US President Joe Biden appeared to denigrate supporters of Donald Trump ahead of next week’s election.White House press officials reportedly altered a transcript of a call in which US President Joe Biden appeared to denigrate supporters of Donald Trump ahead of next week’s election.
The supervisor, in the email, called the press office’s handling of the matter “a breach of protocol and spoliation of transcript integrity between the Stenography and Press Offices.” According to the email, the press office had asked the stenographers to quickly produce a transcript of the call amid the firestorm. Biden himself took to social media to say that he was not calling all Trump supporters garbage and that he was referring specifically to the “hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally.”
The supervisor was not immediately available to review the audio, but the press office went ahead and published the altered transcript on the White House website and distributed it to press and on social media in an effort to tamp down the story. “Regardless of urgency, it is essential to our transcripts’ authenticity and legitimacy that we adhere to consistent protocol for requesting edits, approval, and release,” the supervisor wrote.
