President Donald Trump lashed out at NBC News after the outlet walked back its report that federal investigators wiretapped the phone lines of his longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen as part of their investigations into him. NBC News first reported on the alleged wiretapping Thursday, citing two people familiar with the legal proceedings related to Cohen. But hours later, NBC issued a correction on air, citing three senior U.S. officials to say Cohen was not wiretapped. ABC, which posted a similar report on Thursday, also corrected its report. The news directly contradicts statements Trump made last month, when he said he had no knowledge of Cohen’s payments to the actress.
