Newly uncovered emails show that President Joe Biden appeared to make false statements downplaying the severity of the injuries that his three-year-old German Shepherd, Major, inflicted on a Secret Service agent. The president and other members of his administration, including White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, also appear to have made false statements to reporters about the number of times the dog bit people, including a visitor to the White House.

Critics say the gap in White House communications on this relatively minor issue indicates a deeper lack of honesty by administration officials, including the president.
