As we told you earlier, NPR was called out by The Federalist as well as the Washington Post for a blatantly false article on Donald Trump Jr. that accused him of perjury during testimony in Congress on Russia and a proposed building in Moscow…
This story is completely wrong, as shown in attached link using the actual testimony. Shocking that this was published given its lack of truth. It needs to be retracted. https://t.co/8IFry0cH76

…Well, they’ve *finally* fessed up to their error:
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story mischaracterized an answer Donald Trump Jr. gave to Senate investigators in 2017 about the prospective projects his family was negotiating with people in Moscow. https://t.co/3KYMzCX6NE

And they’ve *finally* deleted the tweet as well:

Took only 5 hours to add that editor's note. https://t.co/AD1RFMqXPJ

This was an outrageous smear of @DonaldJTrumpJr. Should have been retracted with an apology. https://t.co/ZH1kb56evB

"Mischaracterized"? What you're trying to say is that NPR blatantly lied about an answer Trump Jr. gave to the Senate. It's all about the narrative! Least you got that out. https://t.co/dPiedjC6dl https://t.co/qfnrTwzlRm

And where’s the apology?
You spelled “we’re sorry” wrong. https://t.co/xAGz74vjFe
