CNN forced to climb down over Trump-WikiLeaks email report

Network said Trump had received email that offered hacked WikiLeaks files - but CNN got date wrong and later admitted material was already in public sphere

CNN was forced to climb down from a report Friday that an encryption key allowing access to hacked content had been emailed to Donald Trump and aides two months before the presidential election.

Such a key had been emailed, the cable network said in a corrected report, but the material it gave access to was already in the public sphere, and not previously unseen as an initial CNN report suggested.
