A 20 June 2018 Associated Press wire report, carried by PBS NewsHour, on the Vatican's removal of Theodore McCarrick from public ministry, quoting his own same-day statement in which he said he had no recollection of the reported abuse. Wire service reporting from a major news agency with a named byline and a fixed publication date, cited here for the wording and timing of McCarrick's own response rather than for any independent finding of its own.
