NBC News said it ‘misstated the choice the Biden administration was given over hostages’
NBC News issued an embarrassing correction after initially reporting President Biden could have received Paul Whelan, instead of WNBA star Brittney Griner, in the White House’s controversial prisoner swap this week.
A correction was added, noting “an earlier version of this article misstated the choice the Biden administration was given over hostages. It was to swap Griner for no one, not a choice between Griner or Whelan.”
