British journalist Robert Winnett, set to join The Washington Post as its next editor following the November US election, has withdrawn from the position, the outlet reported on Friday. Winnett will remain at the Daily Telegraph in the UK.
The announcement comes amid days of internal strife over Winnett’s alleged past practices as well as those of the new corporate chief, Will Lewis, responsible for his hiring.
