The House Oversight Committee is applying pressure on the White House to release accurate transcripts, after they allegedly altered President Biden's remarks after he called Trump supporters 'garbage.' House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., and Oversight Chair James Comer, R-KY, sent a letter to the White House counsel's office Friday demanding they preserve all documents related to the transcript.
Stefanik and Comer referred to an AP report, which cited an internal email from the head of the stenographer's office, that noted that the press office 'conferred with the president' to change the transcript. The shocking comment came during Biden's remarks to Latino activists regarding comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's comments at a Trump rally. Hinchcliffe referred to Puerto Rico as a 'floating island of garbage.
The letter from the GOP leaders shared their 'concern with the latest reporting of the White House’s apparent political decision to protect the Biden-Harris Administration, instead of following longstanding and proper protocols.' ‘GARBAGE' TRUMP SUPPORTERS? The transcript standard states that: 'If there is a difference in interpretation, the Press Office may choose to withhold the transcript but cannot edit it independently. Our Stenography Office transcript — released to our distro, which includes the National Archives — is now different than the version edited and released to the public by Press Office staff.
