Judy Woodruff issues apology following Trump Gaza comments

“PBS NewsHour” senior correspondent Judy Woodruff issued an apology Wednesday after her comments about former President Trump’s role in Gaza cease-***** talks sparked criticism.

“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the prime minister of ******* urging him not to cut a deal right now because … it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” Woodruff said while broadcasting from the Democratic National Convention on Monday.

Woodruff added she thinks Vice President Harris would like President Biden to work on a cease-***** deal quickly so her campaign could benefit from the results.

Woodruff said Wednesday she wanted to clarify her comments.

“As I said, this was not based on my original reporting; I was referring to reports I had read, in Axios and Reuters, about former President Trump having spoken to the ******** Prime Minister,” Woodruff wrote. “In the live TV moment, I repeated the story because I hadn’t seen later reporting that both sides denied it.”

“This was a mistake and I apologize for it,” she said.

, citing Axios. The stories did not report that Trump urged Netanyahu to not take a deal.

In a statement to The Hill, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung denied that the former president wanted to delay cease-***** talks.

“PBS is making up fake stories. The only thing President Trump has told the Prime Minister previously is ‘to get the war over with.’ Any assertion otherwise is fake news,” Cheung said.
