Chuck Todd apologizes for a misleading edited William Barr clip on Meet the Press

Deadline

Sunday's edition of his NBC News show aired a clip of a CBS News interview with the attorney general that omitted a key part of his quote about how history will view his decision to drop the prosecution of Michael Flynn. "We should have looked at both and checked for a full transcript. A mistake that I wish we hadn’t made and one I wish I hadn’t made," said Todd. "The second part of the Attorney General’s answer would have put it in the proper context. Had we seen that part of the CBS interview, I would not have framed the conversation the way I did, and I obviously am very sorry for that mistake. We strive to do better going forward.”
