3 CNN Journalists Resign After Retracted Story on Trump Ally
Three prominent journalists at CNN resigned on Monday after the cable news network was forced to retract and apologize for a story on its website involving a close ally of President Trump.
The article linking Anthony Scaramucci, a hedge-fund manager and Trump confidant, to a Russian investment fund supposedly being investigated by the Senate was removed from CNN.com late last week after the network decided it could not fully stand by its reporting.
The resignations are a black eye at a sensitive moment for the news organization, which has emerged as a regular target of Mr. Trump and his supporters. The president relishes dismissing the networks coverage as fake news, and his closest advisers have accused the channel of harboring a bias against Mr. Trump.
Mr. Trump weighed in with his own critical take on Tuesday morning.
