Bloomberg apologizes for early report of Ankara-mediated prisoner swap

Bloomberg News has apologized and taken "disciplinary action" against a number of its editorial staff after the outlet "prematurely" published news of the Türkiye-mediated historic prisoner swap between Russia and the United States last week.

In an email to staff on Aug. 6, the editor-in-chief, John Micklethwait, wrote that a number of staff members were disciplined.
