Fox & Friends host Ainsley Earhardt broke some news on Hannity Wednesday night when she said President Donald Trump told her that he “would consider” pardoning Paul Manafort, his former campaign chief found guilty on eight counts and faces 80 years in prison.

Here’s a transcript of Earhardt’s comments on Hannity Wednesday night:

Earhardt: He mentioned pardoning Manafort.

Hannity: He did mention pardoning Manafort?

Earhardt: He did. He said that he would consider that. He feels I think — I think he feels bad for Manafort.

In her actual interview with Trump that aired on Fox & Friends Thursday morning, which Fox News told Mediaite was aired unedited, Earhardt asked the president about a Manafort pardon and he simply said he has “great respect” for Manafort.

Earhardt appeared to walk back her characterization of Trump’s comments on Fox & Friends.

“He never said he was going to pardon Paul Manafort, but it sounded like to me that he might be considering it,” Earhardt said. “But he never said yes and he never said no.”
