Lex Haris, NCS’s investigations editor, traveled to a journalism conference in Phoenix final week. In hindsight, his timing was horrible.
While Haris was away, his group printed a story on NCS.com that reported — citing a single nameless supply — that Senate investigators had been trying into a gathering between a member of President Trump’s transition crew, Wall Street financier Anthony Scaramucci, and an government of a Russian funding fund earlier than Trump took workplace. The story appeared to advance the narrative of ties between Trump marketing campaign officers and other people near Russian President Vladimir Putin.
