An MSNBC contributor apologized and deleted a tweet that appeared to confuse readers about Fox News Channel�s plans to cover special prosecutor Robert Mueller�s testimony before Congress this week.

Joyce Vance, a former federal prosecutor, said Sunday on Twitter that Fox isn�t airing Mueller�s testimony because President Donald Trump is afraid of what will happen to his supporters if they heard Mueller.

But Fox is airing the testimony Wednesday, along with ABC, CBS , NBC and the cable news networks.

Vance tweeted later Sunday that while she meant it ironically, �my apologies to anyone I confused.�

MSNBC had no comment Monday. Fox noted it had been running promos of its Mueller coverage since Friday.

Vance�s original message had been retweeted nearly 10,000 times.
