RawStory issued a correction: "An earlier version of this story incorrectly claimed that Michael Cohen helped broker the payment between Jerry Falwell Jr. and Giancarlo Granda. We regret the error."

I wouldn't be too surprised if Cohen did broker the deal, but there's no evidence of that yet.

RawStory mischaracterized the conclusions of the original Buzzfeed story and then later issue a correction.

Ok - Miami New TImes tries to dig out more, not completely clear what happened, but bizarre sounding:

Here's the current Raw Story version:

A source close to Falwell told Buzzfeed News he was “sure” Falwell had discussed the Granda case with former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, who was sentenced earlier this month to three years in prison as part of a case involving payoffs to Trump mistresses.

Buzzfeed said there was “no evidence” that the discussions played a role in Falwell’s subsequent decision to endorse Trump for president.

... (Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly claimed that Michael Cohen helped broker the payment between Jerry Falwell Jr. and Giancarlo Granda. We regret the error.)

Not exactly exoneration. Stay tuned. (wonder if Liberty U donors are worried about this kind of stuff?)
