The Washington Post, The New York Times and NBC News retracted aspects of their reports regarding claims that the FBI briefed former President Donald Trump's lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, about how he was allegedly being targeted by Russia.
The Post said Saturday that it had withdrawn statements in its report alleging that Giuliani and OAN had received such warnings.
The New York Times report discussed the FBI's investigation into Giuliani, stating that the firing of former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch was the probe's focus and that Giuliani had received a "Formal warning" about Russian disinformation from the FBI. The Times issued a correction of certain statements on Saturday, stating that Giuliani never received the defensive briefing that it had originally reported as having occurred.
"Mr. Giuliani did not receive such a so-called defensive briefing."
The outlet issued a correction Saturday, suggesting the FBI prepared a briefing, but that Giuliani never received it.
NBC said this correction of statements came after a source said Giuliani did not receive the briefing because of concerns surrounding how that might complicate the investigation into Giuliani.
"I've never represented a Ukrainian national or official before the United States government," Giuliani also said Thursday on Fox in the wake of the raids, Reuters reported.
