White House Press Secretary Addresses Errors in HHS 'MAHA' Report

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed concerns about the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) 'MAHA' report on June 3rd, 2025, during a press briefing. The report contained citations to studies that either did not exist or did not support the report's conclusions. Leavitt attributed these issues to "formatting errors." A journalist pressed Leavitt on the matter, asking, "So when you were referring to formatting errors, is that what you were talking about?" Leavitt responded, "Yeah, that's what I was talking about. There were formatting errors and those errors were updated by the proper policy components here at the White House. And a new report was issued." The HHS subsequently released an updated version of the 'MAHA' report. This incident highlights the importance of accuracy and transparency in government reports and the scrutiny they face from the press.
