"Today in a segment, I stated that the Fox network held their holiday party at Trump’s D.C. hotel. I was wrong. We have since learned that neither Fox nor an affiliate held any party," Ruhle continued.



“I stand corrected. I apologize for the error. The mistake was entirely my error. I wish all my friends at Fox a very happy holiday no matter where you have your party,” Ruhle concluded.



A Fox News spokesperson confirmed to The Hill on Friday that the network hasn't held any network Christmas parties yet.



The allegation came after Ruhle, who hosts a mid-morning program following “Morning Joe,” asked a panel she was moderating if there was a conflict of interest between Trump as president in regards to his many businesses.

“Think about the hotel in Washington now. The [Republican National Committee] is having their Christmas party there. Fox News had their Christmas party there. That doesn’t feel a little hanky?”



Fox News also confirms that any Christmas parties the network plans on holding will not occur at any of Trump's properties.



Instead, the network says, the Washington bureau will hold its party at the Liaison Capitol Hill.
