George Stephanopoulos issued a short half-apology Friday for his $75,000 in personal donations directed to the Clinton Foundation. “I now believe that directing personal donations to the foundation was a mistake, even though I made them strictly to support work done to stop the spread of AIDS, help children, and protect the environment in foreign countries,” he said on Good Morning America. “I should’ve gone the extra mile to avoid even the appearance of a conflict.” He faced criticism after the donations emerged this week for continuing to report on controversies related to the Clinton Foundation’s donations.
