The Washington Post noted that BuzzFeed told Mueller’s office spokesperson Peter Carr before publication they were going to report “that Michael Cohen was directed by President Trump himself to lie to Congress about his negotiations related to the Trump Moscow project,” but didn’t say the story would reference the special counsel’s findings.
On Jan. 19, BuzzFeed spokesperson Matt Mittenthal told the Washington Post, “As we’ve reconfirmed our reporting, we’ve seen no indication that any specific aspect of our story is inaccurate. We remain confident in what we’ve reported, and will share more as we are able.”
BuzzFeed’s editor-in-chief Ben Smith says it wants more information about what exactly Mueller says is inaccurate, but told CNN “we haven’t heard where the gap is and where we can continue our reporting to close it.”
iMediaEthics has written to BuzzFeed to ask if there is any new information to support its reporting in light of Mueller’s denial.
BuzzFeed’s sources are two anonymous “federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter.”
