Three CNN journalists accept resignations over retracted story on Russian ties

CNN accepted resignations from three employees who wrote a now-retracted story on President Trump's ties to Russia. The story investigated the pre-inaugural meeting between one of Trump's associates and the head of a Russian investment fund. The article was originally uploaded on Thursday but was already removed by Friday night. CNN issued an apology to Anthony Scaramucci, one of Trump's transition team members cited in the article. The author Thomas Frank, assistant editor Eric Lichtblau, and head of investigations unit Lex Haris lost their jobs.
