Bret Baier apologizes for misleading report on Clinton Foundation investigation

Published November 4, 2016 6:44pm ET



Fox News’ Bret Baier has apologized for mistakenly claiming an indictment was “likely” in the FBI investigation into the alleged pay-to-play schemes of the Clinton Foundation.

On Wednesday, Baier said FBI sources told him about the indictment and said the investigation into the Foundation had been ongoing for more than a year. He also said the sources believed with 99-percent accuracy that Clinton’s private email server had been hacked. On Friday, Baier walked back some of his language while speaking with fellow Fox host Jon Scott on “Happening Now.”
