The White House is being accused of altering the transcript of President Biden's controversial "garbage" comment about Trump supporters despite concerns of stenographers.
"If there is a difference in interpretation, the Press Office may choose to withhold the transcript but cannot edit it independently," the supervisor wrote in the email. "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."

Director of White House Stenography Amy Sands also reprimanded the White House press office after the debacle, writing in an email, "After last night's process, our team would like to reiterate that rush drafts/excerpts the Stenography Office sends to assist the Press Office are not intended for public distribution or as the final version of the transcript.
