NBC, ABC Correct Story That Cohen's Phone Was Wiretapped

NBC and ABC News both issued corrections Thursday evening after reporting earlier in the day that President Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen had his phone wiretapped by federal investigators. The networks clarified that Cohen had not been wiretapped.

NBC first reported that “Cohen's phone lines had been wiretapped, meaning a judge had given investigators approval to listen to phone calls.”

The original story reporting the wiretap cited two sources with knowledge of the legal proceedings.

However, after three senior U.S. officials disputed that report, the network issued a correction. The officials said the monitoring of Cohen’s calls was limited to a log of calls which simply monitors incoming and outgoing calls to a number rather than listening in on them.

Lets get the story straight.

NBC was correct, the phone was tapped, but once the story was released those who illegally tapped the phone made NBC retract and change the story.

Addition to the comment above:

ALL PHONE CALLS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE MONITORED AND RECORDED.

ALL METADATA FROM CALLS ARE RECORDED.

When he need arises, those in the NSA puts the two together.

It is all done in the 1 million square foot Utah data center
