Fox News admits it made up phony story about Hillary Clinton being “indicted” over Foundation

Donald Trump supporters and the Alt-Right were jubilant on Thursday at the apparent news that Hillary Clinton was likely to be “indicted” by the FBI over her role in the Clinton Foundation charity. Propaganda sites like Breitbart declared that the election was all but over, and Trump himself parroted this claim during his own stump speech. But now it turns out that the Fox News reporter who started the whole thing is admitting that he pretty much made up the entire thing.

The “indictment” storyline began when Fox News reporter Bret Baier claimed on Wednesday night that two anonymous sources had told him Hillary Clinton was going to be indicted over the Clinton Foundation. But nearly twenty-four hours later, after the whole thing had turned into a firestorm among Trump’s base, Baier is now admitting that he incorrectly relayed what his “sources” told him, and he’s also acknowledging that his sources wouldn’t be in a position to know such things to begin with – as individual FBI employees would have no knowledge over whether any given investigation might or might not ultimately lead to an indictment of any kind.

If Bret Baier’s “sources” on this story really exist to begin with, and if they are employees within the FBI, then this represents at least the third time in the past week in which the FBI has attempted to dishonestly rig the Presidential election against Hillary Clinton. The first was when FBI Director James Comey violated federal law by trying to mislead the public into believing that she was under new investigation, when it’s actually an unrelated investigation into Anthony Weiner. The second was when the FBI began tweeting misleading information about Bill Clinton. In any case, this latest FBI-tinged story about Hillary Clinton being “indicted” over the Clinton Foundation is indeed pure fiction. If you enjoy Daily News Bin, consider making a contribution:
