What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe promised you this one.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorABC News has quietly taken down a story about Donald Trump Junior's business dealings, then issued a correction without explaining what was actually wrong.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Daily Caller, which flagged it, quotes a line that says the article was deleted because it was false.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorABC has not said more here, so what exactly was wrong is unclear.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the story ran, vanished, and then the correction showed up afterward.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBackwards. Like a parachute packed after the jump.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIn my experience, a correction that arrives after the deletion is an answer to a question nobody has asked yet.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd it's Sunday, so everybody will be asked.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNobody will answer. But they will be asked.
