If anybody was wondering if Buzzfeed would back away from their “bombshell” report on Trump that caused the special counsel’s office to release a rare statement to dispute the story, here’s the answer:
Updated statement from @BuzzFeedNews:
“As we’ve re-confirmed our reporting, we’ve seen no indication that any specific aspect of our story is inaccurate. We remain confident in what we’ve reported, and will share more as we are able.” –Matt Mittenthal, spokesperson.— Michael M. Grynbaum (@grynbaum) January 19, 2019

Hard to view this statement as anything other than a direct challenge to the Special Counsel

Mueller came out and basically said they were full of crap. What more do these people need that their report was wrong? https://t.co/pYqPGjgwtu
