After getting criticized for a recent article arguing that the Obama Administration actively misled the public on the Iran nuclear deal, freelancer David Samuels has released a lengthy response.

“I stand behind every single word I wrote,” Samuels said in a recent column. This newspaper does, too. The New York Times has looked closely at every complaint leveled against the piece and has found absolutely nothing to correct. If anything is found to merit a correction, it will certainly be corrected.”

Samuels’ response came a day after Times editor Jake Silverstein also defended the piece. “1st off,” Silverstein wrote, “every story published in the NYT Magazine is thoroughly fact-checked. Rhodes piece was no different.” In another tweet, Silverstein continued, “Since publication, it has been re-reviewed. To date, there have been no corrections made.”

His other arguments in defense of the original piece can be found here.

The original longform narrative, published May 5, follows the story of Ben Rhodes, whom Samuels reports, “is, according to the consensus of the two dozen current and former White House insiders I talked to, the single most influential voice shaping American foreign policy aside from Potus himself.”
