(18,837 posts)It's what had to happen. Trump's attorneys demanded a retraction and an apology, and they got it. But yes...it IS out there, and it's NOT going away. And it is definitely something that is well within the realm of "possibilities."

Last night I made an error in judgment by reporting an item about the presidents finances that didnt go through our rigorous verification and standards process. I shouldnt have reported it and I was wrong to discuss it on the air. I will address the issue on my show tonight.

(12,448 posts)It was just "good night" and went straight to the apology. Rachel was absolutely flumoxed last night when Lawrence told her about it.

(18,837 posts)The smart thing to do was to toss a bone to Trump's attorneys and move on. He did. As I said above, the entire apology / retraction took about 60 seconds. No reason to do more than that, and if Trump's attorneys keep banging the drum, one would hope they're smart enough to know that they would really arouse suspicions over what Trump has to hide.

(61,695 posts)The suggestion has been made. The apology has been made. Let trump prove it isn't true, even after all of those interviews with Beavis & Butthead who claimed to get their financing from RUSSIA.

(111,098 posts)If he is conflicted with Duetsche Bank, as many people have suggested, then he probably wants the story to die as quickly as possible, I would think?

(11,312 posts)Somebody with this much experience shouldn't be making these kind of (mistakes?). This is discouraging. If you're going to be a journalist, then be able to back up what you report. 101.
