Novak Admits That Hillary/Obama "Smear" Column Is Second Hand
By Greg Sargent - November 19, 2007, 1:15PM

The Huffington Post has posted some video of Robert Novak going on Fox News today to defend himself against criticism of his weekend column, in which he claimed that "agents" of Hillary had explosive info on Barack Obama but were refraining from releasing it.

In case you missed it, Novak's column prompted a furious exchange between the Hillary and Obama camps. Critics lined up to blast Novak for putting out such murkily sourced info.

Now Novak has "clarified" his sourcing: It's second-hand. In the interview, he says he was told of this by someone who was "told by an agent of the Clinton campaign."
