They are confirming that the quotes were accurate, which is quite different from confirming that her conclusion was accurate. Dorian Nakamoto had already confirmed that he was quoted accurately. He also said that he misunderstood her and she apparently misunderstood him, and that seems entirely possible. Her entire story relies heavily on the confused 'admission' from Dorian Nakamoto during a few minutes interaction. She effectively ignores evidence that does not support her claim, such as the inexplicably huge difference in public writing styles of D Nakamoto and S Nakamoto. What this new revelation does show, if you read the full reports of it, is that the reporter prompted the critical quote from the police officer, which opens her story, by first feeding him the suggestion that Dorian Nakamoto was the creator of Bitcoin.
