GOP congressman: I 'misspoke' when I said RNC was hacked

Michael McCaul said he misspoke when he asserted the Republican National Committee's data has been hacked, amending his remarks shortly after a top RNC official disputed his initial statement. McCaul had told host Wolf Blitzer that the RNC had fallen victim to a hacking perpetrated by Russian state actors at the behest of Putin. Shortly after the interview, McCaul walked back his comments.
