America.gov chatbot stops answering questions that contradict Trump
The federal America.gov chatbot stopped confirming the 2020 election results and citing inflation data, CBO projections and USAID cut estimates. CNN, AFP, CBS News and The New Republic documented the reversals, but GSA and the White House have not explained who changed the system or why.
- The chatbot no longer confirms Biden's 2020 win, citing a policy against political commentary
- It previously cited 3.0% CPI for January 2025 and a CBO estimate of 10.4 million losing insurance by 2034
- Refusals also covered USAID mortality estimates and income distribution effects of legislation
- A White House official told AFP the tool would keep being updated with accurate federal information
