A member of a conservative US group has reportedly been fired after President Donald Trump delivered a speech in front of a photoshopped seal.

A doctored version of the presidential seal was projected at an event featuring Mr Trump this week.

The White House says it didn't know that the altered background - featuring a two-headed eagle clutching golf clubs and dollar bills - would be displayed while the president addressed his audience.

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.
