This will be clarified in the White House transcript. It was a mistake on our end.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Univision anchor told Maria Fernanda Reyes that the transcript was not updated. \u201cThis morning- it\u2019s been nearly 24 hours after the fact- the White House has not yet issued any clarification in that regard.
