Republicans want documents released in Biden ‘garbage’ comment row
The US President appeared to take a swipe at supporters of Donald Trump during a video call earlier this week.
Top Republicans have called on the White House to produce all documents and internal communications regarding President Joe Biden’s statement earlier this week in which he appeared to take a swipe at supporters of Donald Trump.
White House press officials altered the official transcript of Mr Biden’s statement, drawing objections from the federal workers who document such remarks for posterity, according to two US Government officials and an internal email obtained on Thursday by The Associated Press.
The Republican lawmakers said they question whether the decision to create “a false transcript and manipulate or alter the accurate transcript” produced for the National Archives and Records Administration was a violation of federal law.
Representative James Comer, Republican chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, and House Republican conference chairwoman Elise Stefanik demanded the White House produce the records.
