Claim Text
The MS NOW letter lists three offending stories: a May 6 report that the FBI had "launched a criminal leak investigation" focusing on Atlantic writer Sarah Fitzpatrick, a June 11 blog post quoting an unnamed "White House official" who said Trump had "underestimated the willingness of Iran to resume conflict," and an August 6 story saying the Iran war had "significantly depleted" U.S. munitions.
