FOX issues an apology: Kevin O'Leary appeared as a guest on the show and discussed the ongoing controversy surrounding his planned data center project in Utah and made claims relating to the opponents of his product.

Mr. O'Leary has now corrected the record and explained he has “no evidence” that they are funded by the Chinese communist party. Fox News media is aware of no evidence they are funded by or acting in the direction of or were in coordination with Chinese interests in opposing Mr. O'Leary's project.
