ABC News Retracts Trump Family Hit Piece, But Won't Say Why

What happened: ABC News removed a story about Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump's investments after critics challenged its claims, then republished it on Oct. 9 with an editor's note and corrections. Why it matters: CNN journalist Andrew Kaczynski called the handling "absolutely wild," noting the story had been shared by top lawmakers and Democratic officials. ABC cited errors in descriptions of investments, contracts and event chronologies.
