No President of the United States has ever, in the history of the country, been baselessly investigated in such an outrageous and unlawful fashion. Nevertheless, multiple news outlets decided to treat this letter as a serious bid for discussion with the recused Attorney General. In ABC’s case, it falsely claimed that the letter “present[ed] arguments” that Trump should not be charged in the stolen documents case, citing “sources familiar with the matter.”The letter, though thin on details, presents arguments that Trump should not be charged in the investigation related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News. Because “sources familiar” told them so, ABC reported the letter said something it did not. Claiming it is something else because sources you’ve granted anonymity said it is is not journalism.
