Fox News anchor Bret Baier on Friday apologized on-air for reporting that there would “likely” be an FBI indictment against the Clinton Foundation for alleged pay-to-play schemes.
"That just wasn’t inartful, it was a mistake, and for that I’m sorry. I should have said they will continue to build their case,” Baier told host Jon Scott on Fox’s “Happening Now.”
"Indictment obviously is a very loaded word, Jon, especially in this atmosphere, and no one knows if there would or would not be an indictment no matter how strong investigators feel their evidence is," he added.
Baier said he stood by his sourcing on the ongoing active investigation into the Clinton Foundation but added that a prosecutor would have to take the case and make it to a grand jury before an indictment could take place.
“[We] are working to get sources with knowledge of the details on the record and on camera, hopefully today,” he said.
Baier’s story drew immediate pushback from supporters of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and from other news networks, with NBC News, ABC News and CNN all reporting that his assertion was false.
Republican nominee Donald Trump on Thursday cited Baier’s report at a campaign rally in Florida, saying that “the FBI is conducting a criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton's pay-for-play corruption during her tenure as secretary of State."
Trump has chosen to ignore Baier's apology that the story was untrue. Trump has manufactured a few of his own detail to add to the pot and continue to use the Baier story as true. Trump, have you no shame at all ???
