Top Republicans have called on the White House to produce all documents and internal communications regarding President Joe Biden’s statement earlier this week in which he appeared to take a swipe at supporters of Donald Trump.

White House press officials altered the official transcript of Mr Biden’s statement, drawing objections from the federal workers who document such remarks for posterity, according to two US Government officials and an internal email obtained on Thursday by The Associated Press.
