Gov. Wes Moore acknowledges incorrectly claiming he received Bronze Star on 2006 application

More than two years after Gov. Wes Moore pushed back on claims that he had misrepresented parts of his past, he said Thursday that he incorrectly claimed to be the recipient of a Bronze Star medal while applying for a White House fellowship in 2006. Moore’s acknowledgment of what he called “an honest mistake” came moments after The New York Times reported on the error in his application, which the newspaper received through a Freedom of Information Act request.
