President Donald Trump reportedly resists having an official White House stenographer present in his meetings with reporters because the truth is his "adversary," a former stenographer wrote in a Tuesday New York Times op-ed.
Beck Dorey-Stein, who served both President Barack Obama and Trump between 2012 and 2017, wrote that given Trump's fixation with "fake news" and his repeated accusations that reporters fabricate stories, she her and fellow stenographers were confused by his repeated rejections of having stenographers with microphones and recorders present in his meetings to create an official record of what was said.
"We weren't powerful, but we were respected; George W. Bush used to call out, 'I love the stenos!' whenever he saw my boss, Peggy, or her colleagues," Dorey-Stein wrote. "Our job, after all, was to provide a first line of defense against the press by being present whenever a reporter was in the same room as the president."

President Donald Trump touted the document he ordered released about his call with the president of Ukraine a 'word-for-word' transcript – despite earlier White House statements saying it was less than that.
When the White House released the transcript of Trump's July 25 call, aides would not refer to it as a word-for-word representation of what the president said on the call.
Trump during two press appearances said the document of his 'perfect' conversation was, in fact, word for word, although the transcript itself says it is not verbatim.
'This is an exact word-for-word transcript of the conversation, taken by very talented stenographers,' Trump said.
He said releasing it would help him refute 'false claims' made against him, and cast the decision as a way to flip the script on Democrats going after him.
'All because they didn't know that I had a transcript done by very, very talented people, word-for-word, comma-for-comma, one by people that do it for a living. We had an exact transcript. And when we produced that transcript, they died,' Trump said.
