Ambassador Richard Grenell said late Friday that the revelations “are troubling to the U.S. Embassy, particularly because several of these fake stories focused on U.S. policies and certain segments of the American people.”
German weekly Der Spiegel said Wednesday that award-winning reporter Claas Relotius, an award-winning reporter had for years fabricated interviews and supposed facts until a colleague raised concerns. He’d written almost 60 articles for the publication.
Grenell said he wrote to the magazine’s senior editors “calling for an independent and transparent investigation.”
