Definitions
A 'whitewash' in this context refers to an attempt by someone to cover up or gloss over faults, errors, or unpleasant facts, often to protect themselves or someone else from blame or criticism. It can also mean presenting a situation or person in a falsely positive light by omitting or downplaying negative aspects.
