NPR has now amended their completely botched story about Don Jr's testimony to the Senate in 2017.
Updated at 4 p.m. ET
Editor's note: An earlier version of this report mischaracterized an answer Donald Trump Jr. gave to Senate investigators in 2017 about the prospective projects his family was negotiating with people in Moscow.The story reported that Trump Jr.'s response — that negotiations on one project concluded by the end of 2014 – contrasted with the version of events as laid out in the guilty plea by Michael Cohen on Thursday. In fact, Trump Jr. and investigators were alluding to a different set of negotiations — not to a deal that Cohen was reportedly pursuing. Trump Jr. did acknowledge in his testimony that Cohen and another man were exploring a possible deal in Moscow in 2015 or 2016.Trump Jr. did not address what Cohen has now admitted — that talks about such a deal continued at least into June 2016, longer than previously known and well into the presidential campaign.
As I reported earlier, their original story got it all wrong. Now they should explain how they got it so wrong.
NEW: Donald Trump Jr. testified to Congress that the Trump Organization's negotiations to develop a Trump Tower Moscow ended at the end of 2014.
But that conflicts with Michael Cohen, who said in a guilty plea the negotiations continued well into 2016. n.pr/2zz4PJ7
