It was perhaps the most explosive exchange in an incendiary press conference: Russian President Vladimir Putin appearing to frankly admit to a motive for, and maybe even to the act of, meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, despite repeatedly denying Russian interference in American politics during the rest of his appearance with Donald Trump in Finland on Monday.

But the exchange doesn’t appear in full in the White House’s live-stream or transcript of the press conference, and it’s missing entirely from the Kremlin’s transcript of the event. The White House did not immediately provide an explanation for the discrepancy.

Second doctored transcript they released in the span of 12 hours. Imagine our reaction if this was Obama.

You're still confused.  Bless your heart.

It's not just the transcript.  The video on the White House site also deletes the first part of the question.  Go to the White House live stream link below.  It's over 2 hrs long, so fast forward to the 2:18:00 mark.  You'll see the edit.  Compare it to the actual events.

A side by side comparison can be found here, if you can stomach listening to Maddow.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.
