The footage is included in a video that promotes false claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against Mr. Trump.
Several hours after the video was published, the White House claimed it had been accidentally posted by a staffer and assured viewers it had been taken down.
As a black Republican senator calls it "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House", the administration says "stop the fake outrage".
President Donald Trump reposted a racist video clip on his Truth Social account late Thursday night that depicted former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes.
The White House press secretary had dismissed criticism of the clip’s racist content as “fake outrage.” But later Friday, the clip disappeared from the president’s social media feed.
