This is a link to an NBC news article that just mentions the fact that reporter Jayne Miller says this new supposed information doesn't match their reporting. I'm sure more stories will be popping up within the next hour or so.
And I did read the WP article and it lacks fact-checking. I hope that they update and provide more context. Of course, it's great for them for click-bait, so maybe context doesn't matter so much...
