Civic Media, the Wisconsin talk-radio network, admitted Thursday to making two requested edits to a recent interview with President Joe Biden.

The network fell in hot water last week when it was revealed they conducted a July 4 interview with Biden with questions provided by the president’s team. Now they’re saying in a statement they also made two edits to the interview before it aired.

“On Monday, July 8th, it was reported to Civic Media management that immediately after the phone interview was recorded, the Biden campaign called and asked for two edits to the recording before it aired,” the station said in a statement.
