New York Times issues correction to bombshell report on Manafort, Oleg Deripaska
The story appeared on the front page of Wednesday morning's print edition. However, the paper was forced to publish a correction by early Wednesday afternoon.
"A previous version of this article misidentified the people to whom Paul Manafort wanted a Russian associate to send polling data," a note at the
bottom of the story read. "Mr. Manafort wanted the data sent to two Ukrainian oligarchs, Serhiy Lyovochkin and Rinat Akhmetov, not Oleg V. Deripaska, a Russian oligarch close to the Kremlin."
Why asked how the original, incorrect version of the story made it to print, a New York Times spokesperson said, "We published a thorough correction and have no comment beyond it."
