In a recent White House briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, responding to CBS News’ @edokeefe, addressed inquiries regarding the digital alteration of photos of President Joe Biden and other high-ranking officials. The questions emerged in the wake of a controversy involving digitally altered photos of Britain's Princess Kate, who later apologized. Jean-Pierre firmly denied that the White House engages in such practices, emphasizing, "That is not something that we do here." This statement was made amidst laughter from reporters and a comparison drawn to the editing practices admitted by Princess Kate. The issue has sparked discussions on the ethics and transparency of photo editing by public figures and institutions.
