Article snippet: WASHINGTON — The White House says it didn’t know that an altered presidential seal featuring a two-headed eagle clutching golf clubs would be displayed at a speech by President Trump this week. Spokesman Judd Deere says officials ‘‘never saw the seal’’ before it was projected on a screen behind Trump as he was introduced at Turning Point USA’s teen summit on Tuesday. The real seal has a bald eagle clutching arrows in one set of talons and an olive branch in the other. A spokesman for Turning Point USA told The Washington Post, which first reported on the seal, it fired a video team member for mistakenly displaying the seal. Deere referred additional questions to Turning Point USA. The conservative group did not immediately return an emailed request for comment Thursday.
