It's more of a clarification then a recant. The comments Coleman made earlier to the Wall Street Journal were just speculation.

And this part of the article is wrong:

" ...now says Jordan didn’t know of the abuse."

What Mark Coleman did say was that he himself has no direct knowledge or ever say Jim Jordan actually knew of the abuse. But he did not say that Jim Jordan didn't know of the abuse. How could Coleman say such a thing with certainty?
