It was corrected to say that the email was actually sent on September 14, one day after WikiLeaks made the documents public. "CNN's initial reporting of the date on an email sent to members of the Trump campaign about Wikileaks documents, which was confirmed by two sources to CNN, was incorrect," CNN said in a statement. In its updated story, CNN acknowledged, "The new information indicates that the communication is less significant than CNN initially reported." Before the correction, the story -- which relied on multiple sources who described the email to CNN -- had been heavily promoted by the network. CNN corrected its story at 3:45 p.m.
