So, I've tried searching it up myself. All I've been able to find is one article saying that one journalist, who was reporting from the DNC, had reported the story on live broadcast. She later stated that it wasn't her reporting, but something she had seen reported elsewhere. There's also, in that single article, a line about both Trump and Netanyahu denying that the phone call happened at all.
Trump at least isn't the most reliable source, and I have doubts about Netanyahu always being truthful to media, western or otherwise.
That said, I'd definitely be willing to believe it isn't true. I'd just like to see more than one article on the retraction.
Look up Woodruff's Twitter account, her statement is on there. The conversation may very well have happened but Woodruff admits there's no reliable source.
That got me there. So, could still very well have happened, but it's rumour at this point.
Cheers
