 The White House on Tuesday corrected its official transcript of President Donald Trump's Monday press conference in which he insulted an ABC reporter. 
 
 At Monday's Rose Garden press conference, held to mark the trade deal agreement struck by the U.S., Canada and Mexico, Trump called on ABC News' Cecilia Vega. As Vega was waiting for a microphone to be passed to her, Trump said, “she’s shocked that I picked her. Like in a state of shock.”

 “I’m not, thank you, Mr. President," Vega responded. 
 
 "That’s okay. I know you’re not thinking, you never do," Trump replied. 
 
 The initial transcript, released several hours after the press conference, quoted as Trump saying, "I know you're not thanking. You never do." 
 
 Vega proceeded to ask a question about Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh that Trump refused to answer, insisting that he would only take trade-related questions before moving on to other subjects. The president later returned to Vega, allowing her to ask her Kavanaugh question. 
 
 The exchange went viral online, with Vega tweeting: “A news conference means you get to ask whatever question you want to ask. #FirstAmendment.”
– President Trump made headlines Monday when he delivered a slam to ABC News journalist Cecilia Vega. Then the White House kept the story alive with a controversial official transcript—one that toned down Trump's remark—before fixing it after an outcry. You can watch the original back and forth for yourself in this video. Trump selects Vega to ask the first question at a news conference, then jokes that she is shocked at that. "I'm not, thank you, Mr. President," Vega responded. Trump, apparently mishearing her, then says, "I know you're not thinking. You never do." However, Politico reports that the first version of the White House transcript, out later Monday, quotes Trump as saying: "I know you're not thanking. You never do." The transcript was spotted by Voice of America journalist Steve Herman, who tweeted the pertinent section and said he wasn't buying it. "I was sitting just behind her in the Rose Garden and we all clearly heard him say: "I know you're not thinking. You never do.” As critics accused the White House of whitewashing the exchange, a revised transcript appeared Tuesday morning, reflecting that Trump did indeed say "thinking," reports NBC News.
