Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) accidentally published an op-ed in the Deseret News claiming that his meeting with Judge Merrick Garland didn’t change his mind about delaying action on the nomination until after the presidential election, the Washington Post reports.
The problem: Hatch hasn’t even met with Garland yet.
The article was removed from the Deseret News website but remains available in a Google database.
