Still spinning…
Via Deadline:
George Stephanopoulos apologized on air for a second time, for the $75K in donations he’s made to the Clinton Foundation since 2011. The latest statement came 14 minutes into this morning’s ABC News’s Sunday Beltway show This Week. It was the same apology he’d read on air Friday, on Good Morning America, about the donations.
“Over the last several years I’ve made substantial donations to dozens of charities, including the Clinton Foundation,” Stephanopoulos said. “Those donations were a matter of public record but I should have made additional disclosures on air when we covered the foundation.
“I now believe that direct and personal donations to that foundation was a mistake. Even though I made them to support work done to stop the spread of AIDS, help children, and protect the environment in poor countries, I should have gone the extra mile to avoid even the appearance of a conflict. I apologize to all of you for failing to do that.”
As we have reported, there is a much greater involvement than simply the donations. He still has failed to acknowledge he was a member of the Clinton Global Initiative and that he was involved in moderating multiple panels for them at multiple events over many years.
