“It has been brought to my attention that my memoir The Truth: My Life, How It Really Happened, and What It Means for America — for which I conducted more than 500 hours of interviews with myself — contains an anecdote in which the late Samuel Beckett mails me his Nobel Prize for Literature medal and insists, in a long and heartfelt letter, that I deserve it more than he does. This anecdote has been adjusted. It has been brought to my attention that my memoir Just the Facts: Everything I Ever Did and the Order I Did It In — for which I embedded with myself on a series of dangerous solo military missions — contains an anecdote in which, after a boozy lunch with King Charles III, I invent the iPod. This anecdote has been adjusted.” (05/06/24)
