Newsweek simply quoted a 30-year FBI veteran with direct knowledge they trusted...purportedly.

Someone is lying. It's easy to blame the unnamed source....but I'd like to consider the suspicion that this huge and overt screw up was a calculated risk that failed and was colluded on by a multitude of higher-ups, who then drew straws to see who took public blame.

Someone is lying.

Or they're mistaken. Which is most likely to be newsweek, since they famously don't employ fact checkers.
