Is he still standing by that statement as TRUTH???Actually, he did not admit it was false, just that it had not gone though the correct process before airing. He was very careful in his words.
“Last night I made an error in judgment by reporting an item about the president’s finances that didn’t go through our rigorous verification and standards process,” he wrote on Twitter. “I shouldn’t have reported it and I was wrong to discuss it on the air. I will address the issue on my show tonight.”
and
“Now, I want to stress, that’s a single source,” he said. “This has not been confirmed by NBC News. I have not seen any documentation from Deutsche Bank that supports this and verifies this. This is just a single source who has revealed to me, and that’s where that stands at this point. It’s going to need a lot more verification before that can be a confirmable fact.”
He admitted his willful disregard for the truth in that tweet. Is he now saying that it is true, despite admitting that he cannot verify it?
Because, that is defamation. If he is still calling it true, that tweet was all for not.
