During a Special Report covering President Trump saying he will be “signing something in a little while” that will keep immigrant families together, ABC News displayed a graphic with the false information that Paul Manafort pleaded guilty to 5 charges of manslaughter.
Paul Manafort was President Trump’s campaign manager for a period. As a result of Special Prosecutor Muller’s investigation he has been charged with crimes, but nothing even close to manslaughter. In addition, Manafort has not pleaded guilty to any crime
Statement from ABC News:
We regret and apologize for the false lower third graphic that aired during our special report. We are investigating how incorrect information was in our system and how and why it was allowed to air. We apologize to our viewers and to Mr. Manafort. There simply is no excuse for this sort of mistake.
