Senator Barred From 'This Week' Until Stephanopoulos Recuses

The communications director for Republican Sen. Mike Lee says that he won't let his boss go on "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos until he recuses himself from covering the 2016 presidential race.

Stephanopoulos apologized Thursday for not disclosing the fact that he has donated $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation, which he said he thought was "already a matter of public record."

Stephanopoulos also said that he has given a total of $75,000 to the Clinton Foundation.  ABC News initially said that Stephanopoulos had given a total of $50,000 to the foundation.

Carroll tweeted Thursday:

I'm not letting my boss go on @ABC until @GStephanopoulos recuses himself from all 2016 coverage.
