White House Tries To Alter Transcript of Press Briefings

HeadlineNov 14, 2005

The White House has been accused of trying to rewrite history after requesting Congressional Quarterly and the Federal News Service to alter the transcript to a October 31 press briefing. Both news agencies reported White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan responded to a question about the CIA leak case by saying “that’s accurate.” But the White House insists he said, “I don’t think that’s accurate.” So far both Congressional Quarterly and the Federal News Services have refused to change their transcripts but the White House website now claims McClellan said “I don’t think that’s accurate.”
