Fake news again

Washington Examiner: "More mainstream media mess-ups: The Muslim Olympian 'detained because of President Trump's travel ban' was detained under Obama."

To be sure, this woman misled the press by saying the detention occurred "just a few weeks ago" when it actually happened in December.  Still, the media had their narrative and ran with it - the "when" can wait until later.

P.S. You searched high and low in today’s America, and THIS was the false claim that got to you, huh?

In two of the mainstream mess-up articles cited by the Examiner, "later" meant later in the same article. (Daily News and ESPN)
