Geraldo Rivera made an about face on claims that he had tapes of “embarrassing” statements from Donald Trump and offered the Republican presidential nominee a public apology.
Rivera boasted last week that he would release the offending tapes once he had gone through them.

The Fox News personality hung his head in shame Wednesday morning, admitting the infamous tapes did not exist.
Contrary to my on-air remarks- a search of my files found No Relevant #TrumpTapes. There is 1 re: ugly feud w Rosie O’Donnell, an old story.

Rivera then offered Trump an apology for “piling on” and “adding fuel” despite the fact that Trump had “always treated me and mine w respect & friendship.”
I apologize to @realDonaldTrump for piling on & adding fuel to #TrumpTapes scandal. You always treated me and mine w respect & friendship.

Viewers should be used to these “Al Capone’s vault” moments that litter Rivera’s illustrious journalism career.
@GeraldoRivera @realDonaldTrump Geraldo apologizes? Geraldo’s EGO can NOT be happy about this.

@GeraldoRivera For a man who tweets nearly frontal nude shots you should be last to point the finger! Reactionary nonsense from hypocrites.

@GeraldoRivera First memory of you…Al Capone’s Vault…empty. Nothing has changed. Everything you say is meaningless.
