Three resign from CNN after Russia story retraction

Only one anonymous source was used in the story, and typical parts of CNN's workflow, such as fact checkers, were reportedly not utilized before publication.

"On June 22, 2017, CNN.com published a story connecting Anthony Scaramucci with investigations into the Russian Direct Investment Fund," the news organization said in a statement.
"That story did not meet CNN's editorial standards and has been retracted. Links to the story have been disabled. CNN apologizes to Mr. Scaramucci."
A source close to CNN told BuzzFeed that the story's publication was a "massive, massive f--- up and people will be disciplined."
