'We don't know whether the information is inaccurate,' O'Donnell said. 'But the fact is, we do know it wasn't ready for broadcast. And for that, I apologize.'
"We don't know whether the information is inaccurate," O'Donnell said."But the fact is, we do know it wasn't ready for broadcast. And for that, I apologize."
"Last night on this show I discussed information that wasn't ready for reporting," he said. "I repeated statements a single source told me about the president's finances and loan documents with Deutsche Bank. Saying 'if true' as I discussed the information was simply not good enough. I did not go through the rigorous verification and standards process here at MSNBC before repeating what I heard from my source.
The president's personal attorney, Charles Harder, sent NBC attorneys a demand for a retraction, correction and apology earlier on Wednesday.Deutsche Bank declined comment on the veracity of the claim. "We don't know whether the information is inaccurate," O'Donnell said. "But the fact is, we do know it wasn't ready for broadcast. And for that, I apologize."
MSNBC has not commented on O'Donnell's claim, other than to point to his tweet clearing it up. There's no evidence that O'Donnell is facing any internal punishment.
