On Friday, Frank Figliuzzi got creative with the truth on MSNBC’s Morning Joe when he repeated the now-disproven story that Devin Nunes would not answer whether the White House had played a role in crafting the FISA memo.

The narrative that Nunes had refused to deny that the memo had been crafted in collaboration with the White House first appeared in a Daily Beast article on Wednesday. The piece cited a transcript of the House Intelligence Committee’s closed-door meeting on Monday, in which Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL) asked Nunes about the White House potentially having helped author his memo.
