In a 450-word post, OAN added that the retraction was part of a settlement reached with Cohen and "OAN apologizes to Mr. Cohen for any harm the publication may have caused him."
The far-right cable network One America News retracted a story and apologized Monday after it falsely claimed former President Donald Trump’s ex lawyer Michael Cohen was the one who had an affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels and secretly used it to “extort” the Trump Organization.
The false allegations appear to originate from a right-wing figure who posted the allegations on X, formerly Twitter. OAN has established itself as perhaps the most extreme of the pro-Trump news outlets. The little-watched network has regularly given airtime to baseless conspiracy theories, most prominently in the wake of the 2020 election.
