Hours after The Washington Post<\/a> made a correction to its story that it had \u201cmisquoted\u201d former President Donald Trump, the former President issued a blistering statement.<\/p>\n

The bad reporting from WaPo claimed Trump told Georgia\u2019s top elections investigator \u201cto find the fraud,\u201d in December. The Post says this quote was false and they lay blame on an unidentified source.<\/p>\n

\u201cCorrection: Two months after publication of this story, the Georgia secretary of state released an audio recording of President Donald Trump\u2019s December phone call with the state\u2019s top elections investigator. The recording revealed that The Post misquoted Trump\u2019s comments on the call, based on information provided by a source,\u201d the correction published Thursday began.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTrump did not tell the investigator to \u2018find the fraud\u2019 or say she would be \u2018a national hero\u2019 if she did so. Instead, Trump urged the investigator to scrutinize ballots in Fulton County, Ga., asserting she would find \u2018dishonesty\u2019 there. He also told her that she had \u2018the most important job in the country right now.’\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe headline and text of this story have been corrected to remove quotes misattributed to Trump.”<\/em><\/p>\n
