AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Right
The White House removed a post from President Donald Trump's Truth Social account showing former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama as monkeys, blaming its posting on a White House staffer.
"I can tell you firsthand that the president had not seen that video before it was posted," a source close to the president told the Washington Examiner. The White House said Friday that a staffer "erroneously" posted the video overnight. It was up for about 12 hours before being deleted.
