NY Times, Washington Post, NBC correct articles on Giuliani

The Washington Post, New York Times and NBC News all issued similar corrections to stories about former President Donald Trump's personal lawyer Rudolph Giuliani and his dealings in Ukraine

NEW YORK -- The Washington Post, New York Times and NBC News all issued similar corrections to stories regarding Rudolph Giuliani, former President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, and his dealings in Ukraine. The corrections, to stories that ran last Thursday or Friday, take back reports that the former New York City mayor had been warned by the FBI that he was the subject of a Russian operation to influence the American election. NBC's online correction on Saturday was the most extensive, and it required both the headline and top of a story that ran a day earlier to be rewritten. The network said it had been told about an FBI briefing of Giuliani by “a source familiar with the matter,” but later learned from a second source that the briefing had been prepared but not delivered. The Times' story last Thursday, following up on last week's raid of Giuliani's Manhattan home and office, was broader in focus but included the FBI report. Saturday's correction said the article misstated whether Giuliani had received the “so-called defensive briefing.”
