   Cindy McCain, the widow of the late Arizona Sen. John McCain,   
   apologized Wednesday after Phoenix police disputed her claim   
   that she stopped a human trafficking attempt at an airport.   
      
   “I commend the police officers for their diligence. I apologize   
   if anything else I have said on this matter distracts from ‘if   
   you see something, say something,’” McCain wrote on Twitter.

    At Phoenix Sky Harbor, I reported an incident that I thought   
   was trafficking. I commend the police officers for their   
   diligence. I apologize if anything else I have said on this   
   matter distracts from “if you see something, say something”

   4,648 people are talking about this   
   Her apology came after city’s authorities refuted McCain’s claim   
   on Monday that she saw a child being trafficked at the Sky   
   Harbor International Airport last week.   
      
   “I came in from a trip I’d been on and I spotted — it looked odd   
   — it was a woman of a different ethnicity than the child, this   
   little toddler she had, and something didn’t click with me,”   
   McCain told KTAR News 92.3 FM.   
      
   “I went over to the police and told them what I saw, and they   
   went over and questioned her, and, by God, she was trafficking   
   that kid,” she added, noting that the woman was “waiting for the   
   guy who bought the child to get off an airplane.”   
      
   “I went over to the police and told them what I saw, and they   
   went over and questioned her, and, by God, she was trafficking   
   that kid.”

   But police said on Wednesday that McCain’s claims weren’t   
   correct and there was no attempt at human trafficking.   
      
   Sgt. Armando Carbajal told KTAR that after officers investigated   
   the matter promptly at the request of McCain, including running   
   a welfare check on a child, they found “no evidence of criminal   
   conduct or child endangerment.”   
      
   McCain has become an advocate against human trafficking and is   
   the co-chair of the governor’s Arizona Human Trafficking Council   
   in addition to the McCain Institute’s Human Trafficking Advisory   
   Council.
