White House transcript from immigration meeting initially excluded key line from Trump

Source: CBS News

The official White House transcript from President Trump's immigration meeting on Tuesday excluded a line from Mr. Trump in which he appears to agree to a clean bill to protect so-called "Dreamers."

"Yeah, I would like to do it," Mr. Trump said during the meeting at the White House after Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, asked about a clean bill for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

According to The Washington Post, the official transcript of the meeting, however, excluded that line. A White House official told the Post that the omission was not intentional.

Immediately after Mr. Trump told Feinstein he "would like to do" a clean DACA bill, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy jumped in to clarify, "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. We have to have security."

They put every other line in but somehow or another that one got left out. No wonder they are always blasting against the media. Think what they would get away with if they managed to shut down the free-press.
