In an April 26 interview with Clinton Cash author Peter Schweizer, ABC This Week host George Stephanopoulos tried to debunk the author's claims of corruption at the Clinton Foundation:

“As you know, the Clinton campaign says you haven’t produced a shred of evidence that there was any official action as Secretary that supported the interest of donors. We’ve done investigative work here at ABC News, found no proof of any kind of direct action. And an independent government ethics expert, Bill Allison, the Sunlight Foundation, wrote this — he said: ‘There’s no smoking gun. No evidence that she changed a policy based on donations to the foundation. No smoking gun.’ Is there a smoking gun?”

But two weeks later, Stephanopoulos confessed that he had personally donated $75,000 to the Foundation, a fact he did not disclose before the interview with Schweizer.
