White House blames 'error' after Biden campaign fundraising page linked on .gov website

The White House said Thursday that a link to a page on the Biden campaign website in the WhiteHouse.gov fact sheet for the president's $2 trillion-plus spending plan was put there in error. 

Those who clicked on the link were taken to a page on "clean energy" and "environmental justice" on the "JoeBiden.com" website, which also said people of color are at higher risk due to weather events. The link was included in a way often done on web pages to bolster factual claims.  But the page also prominently solicits donations in a way that is generally considered improper to be connected to an official government website.
