A
Washington Post correction this month revealed former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D), who is running for governor again, retains a “minimal investment” in the Carlyle Group after he recently attacked his opponent, Republican Glenn Youngkin, for being associated with Carlyle.
The
Post article zeroed in on the gubernatorial candidates’ most recent financial disclosures and highlighted that the two wealthy former businessmen each have several millions of dollars’ worth of assets, but the outlet then issued a small Friday evening correction to the article on July 2 that caught the attention of Youngkin’s campaign.
“A previous version of this article incorrectly reported that Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe had once owned shares of Carlyle stock,” the correction read. “McAuliffe maintains a minimal investment in a Carlyle Group private equity fund. This article has been corrected.”
