White House altered Biden's 'garbage' transcript despite concerns from stenographers --The transcript alteration attempted to water down Biden's insult of Trump voters | 31 Oct 2024 |  The White House altered the transcript of Joe Biden's controversial "garbage" comment despite the concerns of stenographers, Fox News Digital has confirmed. In an email viewed by Fox News Digital, a supervisor sounded the alarm on the White House press office's "breach of protocol and spoilation of transcript integrity between the Stenography and Press Offices." "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." The Associated Press reported that the change was made "after the press office ‘conferred with the president,’ according to an internal email from the head of the stenographers’ office."
