National Public Radio (NPR) has retracted an article that erroneously stated Justice Samuel Alito was retiring from the Supreme Court. The initial report was published in error by the news organization.
News outlets including The Washington Post and The New York Times reported on NPR's swift retraction. The public broadcaster indicated that the incorrect publication stemmed from a "misunderstanding."
The story, which would have signaled a major change to the nation's highest court, was quickly removed from NPR's platforms. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
