| So on Friday, ABC News, Brian Ross enthusiastically reported that Lieutenant General Michael Flynn was prepared to testify against Donald Trump. | |
| And Flynn, according to Ross, said that Trump ordered him to contact the Russians during the 2016 campaign. | |
| Oh, one problem with the report. | |
| It was dead wrong. | |
| An embarrassing and rare move. | |
| Ross clarified the story and said his source said the president asked Flynn to contact Russia during the campaign. | |
| He's now clarifying that statement, saying candidate Trump asked him during the campaign to find ways to repair relations with Russia in other hot spots. | |
| Then after the election. | |
| Big distinction. | |
| The President-elect told him to contact Russia on other issues, including working together to fight ISIS. | |
| Yes, another example of destroy Trump fake news at its finest. | |
