So, the other day we reported that Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera made headlines when he said on air that he had “embarrassing” clips from past interviews with Donald Trump and that he was in the process of reviewing them:

Well, surprise! Just like with Rivera’s infamous Al Capone stunt, there’s nothing there:

Contrary to my on-air remarks- a search of my files found No Relevant #TrumpTapes. There is 1 re: ugly feud w Rosie O'Donnell, an old story. — Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) October 12, 2016

Rivera then groveled an apology:

I apologize to @realDonaldTrump for piling on & adding fuel to #TrumpTapes scandal. You always treated me and mine w respect & friendship. — Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) October 12, 2016
