It was not done on purpose?White House transcript fails to include line from Trump on clean DACA bill.
The official White House transcript of President Trump's comments on immigration failed to include a line from the president regarding a clean bill to address recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
During the meeting on Tuesday, Trump was asked by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) if he would support "a clean DACA bill."
"Yeah, I would like to do it," Trump said during the meeting, according to The Washington Post.
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) then told the president he needed to be "clear."
“I think what Senator Feinstein is asking here — when we talk about just DACA, we don’t want to be back here two years later. You have to have security," McCarthy said during the meeting.
The White House's official transcript did not include the line from Trump saying, "Yeah, I would like to do it."
A White House official said anything left out of the transcript was not done on purpose, according to the Post, and that the conversation's context was clear.
Right.
Of course it was done on purpose.
I watched that whole thing live and it was clear that 45 had no idea what a 'clean bill' means.
