White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Thursday that the White House plans to update President Donald Trump‘s “Make America Healthy Again” Commission report after it was revealed to have falsely cited a number of medical studies.

A story published Thursday morning by NOTUS outlined how at least seven of the research sources cited by the MAHA report, published just last week with Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., do not appear to exist. The 73-page document additionally includes dozens of footnotes with broken links and other attribution errors.

Pressed to address the revelations during Thursday’s White House briefing, Leavitt reiterated that Trump maintains “complete confidence in Secretary Kennedy and his team at HHS.”

“I understand there were some formatting issues with the MAHA report that are being addressed,” she said. “The report will be updated, but it does not negate the substance of the report, which, as you know, is one of the most transformative health reports that has ever been released by the federal government, is backed on good science that has never been recognized by the federal government.”

Leavitt declined to answer a question about whether the Trump administration used artificial intelligence to generate the MAHA report.

“I can’t speak to that,” she responded, deferring the inquiry back to HHS officials. “What I know is just what I told you.”

Kennedy has a lengthy history of pushing medical misinformation as evidence to back up his claims, questioning vaccine safety and other forms of modern medicine.

Since being sworn into office, Kennedy has also amplified Trump’s attacks on public funding for medical research, commissioned an investigation into links between vaccines and autism, and floated blocking the National Institutes of Health in leading medical journals, including the Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, and JAMA, because “they’re all corrupt.” More recently, he bypassed the traditional Centers for Disease Control and Prevention protocols to make new recommendations for COVID-19 vaccines for children and pregnant women.
