CNN believes that its sources were just mistaken and did not want to deliberately mislead the network, @brianstelter reports. *****cOCw96gGMR pic.twitter.com/0G8AbMv30s

昨天的故事是这样的:
CNN confirmed this morning that Donald Trump Jr. received an email September 4 2016 offering access to hacked Democratic Party data. (Only they had the date wrong)
The offer was for an decryption key and website address providing access through Wikileaks for hacking the documents. As it turns out, after all the outlets repeated CNN's story, they had to admit they had the date wrong. It was September 14th when all that data was available publicly online.
All the outlets, CBS, NBC, and others had to put in the correction.
CNN wanted people to believe there was collusion and Trump Jr. had advance knowledge.
