White House posts wrong versions of Trump's orders on its website
Source: USA Today
By law, the Federal Register version is the legally controlling language. But it can often take several days for the order to be published, meaning that the public must often rely on what the White House puts out and that's sometimes inaccurate. For example:
► The controversial travel ban executive order suspended the Visa Interview Waiver Program and required the secretary of State to enforce a section of the Immigration and Naturalization Act requiring an in-person interview for everyone seeking a non-immigrant visa. But the White House version of the order referred to that provision as 8 U.S.C. 1222, which requires a physical and mental examination not 8 U.S.C. 1202, which requires an interview.
► An executive order on ethical standards for administration appointees, as it appears on the White House website, refers to"section 207 of title 28" of the U.S. Code. As the nonprofit news site Pro Publica reported last week, that section does not exist. The Federal Register correctly cited section 207 of title 18, which does exist.
Transparency advocates said the discrepancies raises unnecessary concerns about the Trump's executive actions. "These last-minute edits suggest the Trump White House needs to revisit their vetting, sign-off, and publication processes for executive orders," said John Wonderlich, executive director of the nonpartisan Sunlight Foundation.

IOW, truthiness is exactly what we expect these spinning liars to promulgate--when, that is, they are not tossing out lies so ridiculous that a toddler could see through them.

(9,874 posts)Ill informed, incompetent, disinterested in learning anything about how government should function, surrounded by sycophants--it's no surprise that this president and his extreme administration are disintgrating. I just hope the fallout is manageable when he finally completely implodes!
