Some models working for Donald Trump’s agency worked in the United States despite not having the correct permits to do so, according to a model who spoke to Mother Jones and CNN this week.

"As a model, one of the things you learn quite quickly is that you don't — you shouldn't ask too many questions. you just know that you have to do, if you want to work you have to do as you're told. Yet you're kind of aware that it's not legal," former Trump Model Management model Rachel Blais told CNN's New Day on Wednesday.

Blais was one of multiple models — though the only one to give her name on the record — featured in a Mother Jones report out Tuesday that delves into Trump Model Management's handling of immigration rules.

Blais told CNN Wednesday that she signed with the agency in April 2004 but didn’t begin her visa process until August 2004.

Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, disputed the claim, saying they’ve heard the type of accusations before.

"I'm very confident that this business, like the other Trump businesses, has conformed to the laws of this country," Pence said on CNN’s New Day.
