""an inadvertent public disclosure""
""following the regular procedure of presidents being prebriefed on economic data releases,""
""The White House is accordingly reviewing protocols regarding economic data releases.""
""Instead of grasping at straws to foment another fake controversy, however, the media would be better off covering what today's job report actually shows," the official said, adding that President Trump's policies are "laying the groundwork for an economic resurgence as GDP and real wage growth continue to accelerate.""
President Donald Trump posted an image on Truth Social that included figures from the nonfarm payrolls report hours before the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the data. The White House described the incident as an "inadvertent public disclosure" and said it stemmed from routine presidential briefings; officials said they are reviewing protocols regarding economic data releases. Office of Management and Budget policy bars executive branch officials from releasing market-moving statistics prior to official publication and prohibits public statements until at least 30 minutes after release. Economists called the disclosure unprecedented and potentially a violation of long-standing federal policy.
