The White House has posted inaccurate texts of President Trump's own executive orders on the White House website, raising further questions about how thorough the Trump administration has been in drafting some of his most controversial actions. A review of presidential documents found at least five cases where the version posted on the White House website doesn't match the official version sent to the Federal Register. The differences include minor grammatical changes, missing words and paragraph renumbering — but also two cases where the original text referred to inaccurate or non-existent provisions of law. By law, the Federal Register version is the legally controlling language. But it can often take several days for the order to be published, meaning that the public must often rely on what the White House puts out — and that's sometimes inaccurate.

President Barack Obama uses email as part of a specialized system allowing him to send and receive messages from only a limited number of high-ranking administration officials, the White House said.

"There are some common-sense security measures that have put in place to protect the president's e-mail. I think for obvious reasons, we don't discuss a lot of those measures publicly," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said. "But the fact that it's not easy to predict exactly what the president's e-mail address is, is in fact one of those measures." The White House has acknowledged Obama's email use since the earliest days of his presidency, saying he uses it to keep in touch with a small circle of friends and senior officials. But the subject reemerged following revelations that President Obama used a pseudonym in his emails to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
