OAN, a conservative news network, issued a retraction and apology to former attorney Michael Cohen after falsely reporting he had a six-month affair with adult film actress Stormy Daniels.
In a statement on Monday, OAN made it clear that no one should rely on the outlet's reporting about Cohen's alleged affair. The outlet said it had used a source supposedly in contact with disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti, who subsequently denied that he ever made such claims.
"The so-called whistleblower, Mr. Avenatti, has denied making the allegations. OAN apologizes to Mr. Cohen for any harm the publication may have caused him," the statement said.
"The article, quoting a source, falsely claimed that Mr. Cohen and Ms. Daniels 'were having an affair since 2006' and that, according to a source, 'the whole hush money scheme was cooked up by [Mr. Cohen] to extort the Trump Organization before the 2016 election,'" the statement continued. "These statements were false. OAN regrets their publication."
OAN with another retraction. So far they've:
* Settled with Smartmatic
* Settled with Dominion
* Settled with Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss
* Retracted a story they put out about Michael Cohen
And they're still facing further possible legal issues because their executives may have violated state and federal data privacy laws after sharing Smartmatic employee passwords with Sidney Powell.
Crabs in a bucket. I hope he sues them.
