I want to know what the following sentence is going to tell us:
The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts,but he took a long time to send them.
As my understanding the journalist finally sent out these facts after a long time,but the translation on my book says that after a long time he still did not sent out these facts.

If the book was right,then why?
Best regards
You are right, the book is wrong.
