[See NewsBusters for more.] Former Clinton Foundation donor George Stephanopoulos on Wednesday interviewed Hillary Clinton, the wife of his ex-boss. The Good Morning America co-host offered no disclaimer, nor did he mention the $75,000 he secretly donated to the foundation. Instead, he asked Mrs Clinton, “[Did] you buy a Powerball ticket?”  This prompted a long laugh from the Democratic candidate. Stephanopoulos wondered, “And if you win [the lottery]?” At no time in the interview did the former White House aide bring up the brewing controversy of Bill Clinton’s sexual misconduct. Stephanopoulos also avoided the awkward subject of Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal and the recent release of 66 more classified messages.
