Biden's remarks during a call with Latino activists stirred controversy after a White House transcript alteration changed his apparent criticism of Trump supporters to focus on comedian Tony Hinchcliffe.
An email from the head of stenographers criticized the alteration made by the Press Office, calling it a breach of protocol and a spoliation of transcript integrity.
The alterations made by the White House included changing the wording from 'supporters' to 'supporter's', which aides claim was intended to avoid alienating Trump's base.
A government official noted that the practice of altering official transcripts could undermine public trust in the White House communications and historical record.
