Fox News’ Latest Inaccurate Clinton “Pay-To-Play” Claim Happened Two Years After She Left The State Department

Fox Suggests Clinton Negotiated Moroccon Speaking Engagement While At State Department, But Hacked Email Shows Arrangement Happened Two Years Later

Fox News scandalized a newly released, illegally hacked email that purports to show “a multimillion dollar deal between Hillary Clinton's State Department and Morocco,” according to Fox's Abby Huntsman. Huntsman claimed that the email, which was about “setting up a speaking engagement for Clinton,” reveals “more pay to play,” suggesting that Clinton took the donation in exchange for her speaking appearance while Secretary of State. However, the emails were written in January 2015, and the meeting -- which Clinton ended up not attending after all -- was in May 2015, both of which were after Clinton left the State Department and was acting as a private citizen. From the October 21 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:
