In consideration of donations he made to the Clinton Foundation, George Stephanopoulos has announced he will not moderate the ABC News-sponsored Republican primary debate in February to avoid the impression of bias.
"I want to address some news you may have seen about me. Over the last several years I’ve made substantial donations to dozens of charities, including the Clinton Global Foundation. Those donations were a matter of public record but I should have made additional disclosures on-air hen we covered the Foundation.
"And I now believe that directing personal donations to that foundation was a mistake. Even though I made them strictly support work done to stop the spread of AIDS, help the children, and protect the environment in poor countries, I should’ve gone the extra mile to avoid even the appearance of a conflict.
"I apologize to all of you for failing to do that."
Over the past three years Stephanopoulos has made 3 $25K donations to support stopping the spread of AIDS.
