CNN still taking heat for retracting a story over the weekend about a POTUS Donnie team member “talking” with Russian bank officials – PB/TK
Three CNN journalists resign over this Trump Russia story – By Carlos Garcia / June 26 2017
Three journalists at CNN resigned Monday over a story that the network says was improperly vetted and should not have been published.
The story claimed that Trump transition team member Anthony Scaramucci had met with a chief executive from a Russian investment bank a few days before Trump’s inauguration. It further said that Congressional officials were investigating whether Scaramucci spoke to Dmitriev, the bank official, about possibly relieving U.S. sanctions on the Russian Federation.
But by Friday the story was scrubbed by CNN’s website. A note left in its place online explained that the story didn’t meet CNN’s journalistic standards.
“On June 22, 2017, CNN.com published a story connecting Anthony Scaramucci with investigations into the Russian Direct Investment Fund,” the note read. “That story did not meet CNN’s editorial standards and has been retracted. Links to the story have been disabled. CNN apologizes to Mr. Scaramucci.”
