MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell said that he made “an error in judgment” to talk on-air about a claim about President Donald Trump that had a single source.

“Last night I made an error in judgment by reporting an item about the president’s finances that didn’t go through our rigorous verification and standards process,” O'Donnell said in a statement on Wednesday, Aug. 28.
