Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki said she will update future editions of her recently released book, after a claim she made about President Joe Biden‘s actions while at the dignified transfer of Marines killed in Afghanistan in 2021 was debunked.

Biden received significant criticism for looking at his watch to check the time while the remains of 13 Marines, who were killed during a bombing in Kabul, Afghanistan, during the U.S. withdrawal from the country in 2021, were returned to the United States. Psaki, then the White House press secretary, claimed, in her book Say More, that the incident was “misinformation.”

“The president looked at his watch only after the ceremony had ended,” Psaki wrote in her book, according to Axios. “Moments later, he and the First Lady headed toward their car.”

Multiple photos and videos during the ceremony showed Biden checking his watch more than once, despite Psaki’s claim.

The report from Axios also noted that in her book, Psaki cited a USA Today fact check of the incident, which she erroneously credited to the Washington Post, to claim that the president only looked at his watch after the ceremony. The article from USA Today also noted that “Biden checked his watch multiple times at the dignified transfer event, including during the ceremony itself.”

Psaki told Axios in a statement on Monday that the “detail in a few lines of the book about the exact number of times he looked at his watch will be removed in future reprints and the ebook.”

The current MSNBC host’s book was released last week, on the same day Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) also released a book that will have passages updated in future reprints due to errors in the original edition.

A spokesperson for Noem said earlier this month that the book would be updated after she claimed she met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The book, No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong with Politics and How We Move America Forward, has also faced backlash for the inclusion of a story in which Noem describes shooting her family’s failed hunting dog, a 14-month-old named Cricket, several years ago.
