[See NewsBusters for more.] George Stephanopoulos, former Bill Clinton operative and a generous donor to the Clinton Foundation, on Sunday interviewed Hillary Clinton and only offered a quick, meager explanation of his conflict of interest. The This Week anchor began his discussion by briefly informing viewers: “[A] reminder for everyone watching, I worked for President Clinton, made charitable contributions in the past to the Clinton Foundation.”  "Made charitable contributions in the past" is a little vague. What Stephanopoulos did was to donate $75,000 to the foundation of his former boss and his wife and then not tell his employer (ABC) or his audience on This Week or Good Morning America.
