House Oversight ramps up demands for White House to release accurate Biden 'garbage' transcript

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.

"To date, the White House has not issued a corrected transcript, and the false transcript remains on the White House webpage," they wrote.

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 transcript released by the White House press office, however, rendered the quote with an apostrophe, reading "supporter's" rather than "supporters."

The White House insisted that Biden was criticizing Hinchcliffe's comments - and not the huge swath of Americans supporting a Trump presidency.

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."

Now, Stefanik and Comer are demanding that the White House:
