NBC retracts! Cohen wasn't 'wire-tapped,' They were monitoring, not liistening

NBC News announced a major correction to a report out Thursday. The original report claimed that federal investigators had wiretapped Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s phone calls. The correction stated that sources told NBC News investigators were monitoring the calls, but not actually listening to their contents.

NBC News reporter Tom Winter appeared on Meet The Press to announce the correction with anchor Chuck Todd.

“Before we get further into the Giuliani news, we have a correction via NBC News,” Todd announced.

Winter explained that “based on information from two independent sources who have a long term track record of credibility in providing accurate information to this news organization — earlier today based on that information we reported there was a wiretap on Michael Cohen’s phone. Meaning they were able to listen in to conversations from phone lines associated with Michael Cohen to any other person that he might have talked to.”
