A White House statement congratulating Exxon Mobil on a new expansion copied more than an entire paragraph directly from the oil giant’s press release, a reporter found on Monday.
The Exxon Mobil release, published at 3:10 p.m. ET, touted the company’s plan to invest $20 billion over 10 years while creating 45,000 jobs.
Thirty-four minutes later, the White House posted its own statement featuring similar language.
First discovered by Washington Post reporter Christopher Ingraham, the similarities include an entire paragraph copied nearly word for word and another sentence the White House lifted nearly verbatim.
