‘I Was Wrong’: Lawrence O’Donnell Apologizes Over Retracted ‘Russian Oligarchs’ Story

“I did not go through the rigorous verification and standards process here at MSNBC before repeating what I heard from my source,” he continued. “Had it gone through that process I would not have been permitted to report it. I should not have said it on air or posted it on Twitter. I was wrong to do so.”
