1. Aug. 2016-Nov. 2016: The New York Post published modeling photos of Trump’s wife Melania and reported they were taken in 1995.

Various news outlets relied on that date to imply that Melania—an immigrant—had violated her visa status.

But the media got the date wrong.

Politico was among the news agencies that later issued a photo date correction.

9. Jan. 28, 2017: CNBC’s John Harwood reported the Justice Department “had no input” on Trump’s immigration executive order.

12. Feb. 2, 2017: AP reported that Trump had threatened the president of Mexico with invasion to get rid of “bad hombres.”

13. Feb. 4, 2017: Josh Rogin of the Washington Post reported on “Inside the White House-Cabinet Battle Over Trump’s Immigration Order,” only to have the article updated repeatedly to note that the reported meetings had not actually occurred, that a conference call had not happened as described, and that actions attributed to Trump were actually taken by his chief of staff.

More than a year later, ProPublica finally retracted the claim, stating that “Neither of these assertions is correct. Haspel did not take charge of the base until after the interrogation of Zubaydah ended.”

17. May 10, 2017: Multiple outlets including Politico, the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, AP, Reuters and the Wall Street Journal reported the same leaked information: that Trump fired FBI Director James Comey after Comey requested additional resources to investigate Russian interference in the election.

The New York Times’ Matthew Rosenberg and Matt Apuzzo, and CNN’s Sara Murray reported the information in sentences and paragraphs that omitted attribution, as if it were an established fact.

The Washington Post’s Philip Rucker, Ashley Parker, Sari Horwitz and Robert Costa wrote news articles in the style of opinion pieces and from an omniscient viewpoint as if they were somehow attributable to Trump. For example, they reported, “Every time FBI Director James B. Comey appeared in public, Trump grew increasingly agitated that the topic was the one that he was most desperate to avoid: Russia.”

The Justice Department, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe all said the media reports were untrue.

McCabe added that the FBI’s investigation was “adequately resourced.”

Trump could build his wall out of glass and you would still climb it to look at the other side
 
19. June 6, 2017: CNN’s Gloria Borger, Eric Lichtblau, Jake Tapper and Brian Rokus; and ABC’s Justin Fishel and Jonathan Karl all reported that James Comey was going to refute Donald Trump’s claim that Comey told Trump three times he was not under investigation.

Instead, Comey did the opposite and confirmed Trump’s claim.
