On Monday, Fox News breathlessly reported James Comey’s detailed memos of his conversations with Donald Trump contained “top secret” information. The segment was tweeted from the Fox & Friends account and shortly thereafter, the Tweeter-in-Chief gleefully chimed in:
The story fell apart on Tuesday and Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy admitted they were “mistaken”:
Yesterday on this program we aired and tweeted this story saying former FBI director James Comey leaked memos containing top secret information. We were mistaken in that according to a report half of the memos contain information classified at the secret or confidential level not top secret. Documents in which Mr. Comey leaked are at this point unclear.
Just wanted to straighten that out.
Will Donald Trump apologize to James Comey and admit he too was mistaken?
