Republicans suggest White House broke the law with ‘craven’ rewriting of Biden’s ‘garbage’ remark

Published October 30, 2024 6:42pm ET



Two top House Republicans are seeking information from the White House as they investigate whether  officials illegally revised President Joe Biden’s comments in which he appeared to call supporters of former President Donald Trump “garbage.”

House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) requested access to all White House documents and internal communications regarding Biden’s Tuesday comments. They are suggesting that White House officials may have violated the Presidential Records Act by releasing a revised transcript to explain his statement.
