ABC News issued an apology Wednesday after a banner during a live report claimed that former Donald Trump aide Paul Manafort had admitted to killing five people.
The network covered President Donald Trump's afternoon meeting live in anticipation of his announcement that he was issuing a directive to end the practice of separating parents and children caught crossing the border illegally.
During the ABC broadcast, the banner briefly displayed the chyron "Manafort pleads guilty to 5 charges of manslaughter." While the former Trump campaign manager is in jail after his bail was revoked, he has not pleaded guilty to any crimes and has not been charged with manslaughter.
In a series of tweets, ABC News apologized for the error and promised to get the bottom of why the graphic appeared.

They signed off their election coverage in 2016 by accusing Trump of rape.
First, Brian Ross tanked the stock market, now this outrage.
BTW, I wish there were some politically viable way for President Trump to pardon Manafort. And, Flynn.
Sue Weasel Mueller for making the illegal leak happen.
Love me some pirate
Probably the same congressional intern who cussed ar Trump a couple days ago.
MSM has become SNL.
The new, not funny SNL.
Curious. I don’t remember that. Is that a fact? Or are you just venting?
Leni Reifenstahl lives!
No accident. Just show the sheeple a lie once and it will stick.
To what end? This is slander per se, but only nominal damages. People need to stop fetishisizing lawsuits. Theyre not magic bullets.
One million for each “charge” :-)
that sounds like a multi million dollar lawsuit - and a slam dunk, at that.
“when I look around, I just dont recognize America anymore..makes me wonder what President Trump really thinks, if this was all worth it”
Before all this, I used to think that things were so bad that people would roll their eyes and pigeonhole me as an “extremist.”
Trump has shown us that things are much, much worse than even I thought they were. Still, all is not lost. The forces of evil have not yet driven normals to take up arms.
When I look around I sometimes think all is lost..my Mom is a registered Democrat, been that way since she and the rest of my family immigrated from Israel in the early 60s(My brother was born in Israel, left when he was 2, my sister and I were born here in California) back then my family didnt know, they told them “Register as Dems” and they did it, even though they were never political..my Mom is absolutely ASHAMED of what has happened to the Democrat party, she asks me everyday “What happened, I dont recognize them anymore” because they have been taken over by the Communist Party..its all because they want a one party rule
Donald Trump had a wonderful life before running for President, everyone adored him, the ones who call him a Nazi now absolutely ADORED him then..Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, they gave him an NAACP award, now they call him a racist Nazi..funny how that works
Must’ve been that dang autocorrect.
Lorem Ipsum is the standard placeholder text when building web pages, I’m sure it can just as easily be used as placeholder text for chyrons and such.
ABC needs to have their White House press credentials suspended for at least a month. And the fool who typed it needs to be named and shamed so any media agency that hires him in the future can also be denied White House access.
This crap’s got to stop. There must be consequences.
Fake news?
What fake news?
