MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow said she had a “strange scoop” to share with audiences Thursday night after receiving what she believes is a meticulously forged document sent over her tip line with the intention to discredit her. “I feel like I need to send this up like a flare for other news organizations in particular,” Maddow said. “This is news because why is someone shopping a forged document of this kind to news organizations covering the Trump-Russia affair?” Maddow asked. The MSNBC host and her staff compared the document they received with the the leaked NSA document The Intercept published in early June, which led to the arrest of federal contractor Reality Leigh Winner. Maddow and her staff believe the document they received was created by copying and pasting aspects of the document The Intercept published.
