MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell retracted a report he made on-air, saying he was wrong to spread unverified information.

“Last night on this show I discussed information that wasn’t ready for reporting. I repeated statements a single source told me about the president’s finances and loan documents with Deutsche Bank. Saying ‘if true’ as I discussed the information was not good enough.”
