Quote:CNN forced to climb down over Trump-WikiLeaks email report.SOURCE:
Network said Trump had received email that offered hacked WikiLeaks files – but CNN got date wrong and
later admitted material was already in public sphere.
'CNN was forced to climb down from a report Friday that an encryption key allowing access to hacked content
had been emailed to Donald Trump and aides two months before the presidential election.
Such a key had been emailed, the cable network said in a corrected report, but the material it gave access to
was already in the public sphere, and not previously unseen as an initial CNN report suggested.
The retraction was issued following conflicting reports from other news outlets establishing that the email in
question was sent on 14 September 2016, and not 4 September as CNN originally reported.
Donald Trump Jr, one of the recipients of the email, tore into CNN and demanded a correction.
“I know you can’t help but spread #fakenews @cnn, but now that you know the truth you should have the decency
to retract the false story, make the correction, take down the bs tweet, and apologize to the 2 or 3 people that still
believe you to be credible,” he wrote on Twitter, adding: “#yourewelcome”.
“CNN’s initial reporting of the date on an email sent to members of the Trump campaign about Wikileaks documents,
which was confirmed by two sources to CNN, was incorrect,” the network said in a statement. “We have updated our
story to include the correct date, and present the proper context for the timing of email.”...'
