President Joe Biden, first lady Jill Biden and others attend a casualty return as a carry team finishes placing a transfer case containing the remains of Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jared M. Schmitz, 20, of St. Charles, Mo., into the …Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki is making amendments to her recent book after inaccuracies were pointed out in President Biden’s actions during the transfer of 13 troops who lost their lives during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Ms. Psaki has since responded to the revelations, informing Axios that mentions about the frequency of Mr. Biden’s actions regarding his watch will be omitted from future reprints of the book and its digital version. She has yet to directly address the accuracy of her initial claim.
