In a goof that could play into President Trump’s “fake news” complaints, Politico initially published a faulty transcript Tuesday of his defiant remarks on Charlottesville that – thanks to a single word change – made it look like Trump was directly identifying with the white nationalists involved.

Politico, along with some of the reporters who picked up the original transcript, later walked it back.
Politico put out an updated transcript that shows Trump saying: “Okay, what about the alt-left that came charging at [indiscernible] – excuse me – what about the alt-left that came charging at the, as you say, the alt right? Do they have any semblance of guilt?”
Politico explained that it updated the transcript after listening to the audio again. A “correction” note at the bottom says, “In a review of the audio, we could not definitively discern Trump's exact words at that moment in the news conference.”
