MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell: I shouldn't have reported story about Trump and Deutsche Bank
1 / 2Media-MSNBC-O'DonnellFILE - This April 11, 2019 file photo shows MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell at The Hollywood Reporter's annual Most Powerful People in Media cocktail reception in New York. O'Donnell says he made an"error in judgment" in reporting a story about President Donald Trump's finances based on a single source.
MSNBC had no comment on any potential disciplinary action for O'Donnell, saying he would address the matter on Wednesday's show. He said on the show that he'd been told that Deutsche Bank had documents showing that Russian oligarchs had co-signed loans for Trump. He said the report came from a single source, who he didn't identify. The documents also supposedly reveal that Trump paid little in taxes, he said."That would explain, it seems to me, every kind word that Donald Trump has ever said about Russia and Vladimir Putin, if true, and I stress the 'if true' part of this," he said on the air.
Harder said Trump is the only guarantor for the loans. He said it was information that was publicly recorded and could be found by an online search.O'Donnell also tweeted his story on Tuesday, and discussed it on the air with Rachel Maddow, MSNBC's most popular personality, who hosts the show before his. She said in response"that is a scenario that I never contemplated."
