(Photo by Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP, File) Veteran PBS correspondent Judy Woodruff issued an apology on Wednesday for comments made concerning former President Trump and the Gaza cease-fire negotiations. On Monday, during PBS' Democratic national convention coverage, she shared a story indicating Trump urged Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to delay peace talks until after the US election due to concerns such a deal could potentially benefit Kamala Harris' campaign. This information was sourced from Axios and Reuters. However, Woodruff clarified in a Wednesday post on X that she had not seen follow-up reports denying the story by the Trump campaign and Israel. She admitted her comments were not based on any original reporting of her own, stating, "This was a mistake, and I apologize for it." Throughout her career, Woodruff has contributed to major news outlets including CNN and NBC News. She was the host of PBS' "NewsHour" from 2013 to 2022, before stepping down to focus on a reporting project. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot.
