In the 'Murder the Truth' segment, we misquoted the appropriate phrase in New York Times v. Sullivan. While we referenced intentional disregard it should have been reckless disregard. We regret the error. Monday on the News Hour, the Trump administration invokes wartime powers to deport hundreds of alleged members of a Venezuelan gang. The President dismantles Voice of America and the news and information it provided to people in autocratic countries.
