But an examination<\/a> by the news organization NOTUS found that some of those studies did not actually exist. <\/p>\nWhite House press secretary Karoline Leavitt downplayed the issues of nonexistent sources and said the administration has \u201ccomplete confidence\u201d in Kennedy, who spearheaded the report. <\/p>\n
\u201cI understand there were some formatting issues with the MAHA report that are being addressed, and the report will be updated,\u201d Leavitt said during the daily press briefing. \u201cBut it does not negate the substance of the report, which, as you know, is one of the most transformative health reports that has ever been released by the federal government.\u201d <\/p>\n

The findings of dozens of other studies were exaggerated, misleading or misinterpreted. <\/p>\n
The report had no listed authors. When asked about its preparation, and whether artificial intelligence was part of the process, Leavitt said, \u201cI can\u2019t speak to that.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
