After ignoring the bombshell news that the FBI is conducting an active investigation into the Clinton Foundation, Good Morning America on Friday finally noticed the story. But only for 40 seconds and only to dismiss it as “inaccurate and “unsubstantiated.” CBS This Morning’s Major Garrett followed up by chiding “unconfirmed speculation.”

On GMA, correspondent Tom Llamas chided, “With just four days to go, Trump in full attack mode against Hillary Clinton, sending his crowds into a frenzy with these unsubstantiated reports ABC News sources say are inaccurate.”

Later, he added, “Trump is also being accused of spreading more falsehoods, last night saying Clinton committed perjury in her e-mail case, which authorities have never alleged.”

On CBS This Morning, Major Garrett derided, “Trump also trafficked in unconfirmed speculation about FBI inquiries into potential wrongdoing at the Clinton Foundation.”

On Thursday night, ABC’s World News Tonight skipped the story. The NBC Nightly News and CBS Evening News dismissed it.
