Kennedy Jr., after it was discovered that several cited medical studies were non-existent. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that at least seven citations were erroneous, along with numerous footnote issues in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-appeals-court-suspends-reagan-appointed-judge-in-rare-move\/\" title=\"Federal Appeals Court Suspends Judge Appointed by Reagan in Unusual Move\">73-page document<\/a>. Despite these errors, Leavitt insisted that the basic content of the report remained valid, describing it as a transformative health document. When questioned about whether artificial intelligence was used to generate the report,she deferred to HHS officials for clarification.
