Mike Pence agreed that questions about the Trump Foundation’s questionable spending are “fair game” and said incorrectly that the Trump family and its charity had already answered “all the questions” that have been raised in a series of investigations by The Washington Post.

When Chris Wallace of "Fox News Sunday" noted that Trump and the foundation had not, in fact, answered any of the Post's questions, Pence hesitated, then dodged: “I just wish there was as much interest in the activities of the Clinton Foundation,” he said, when Wallace asked him about a payment the Trump Foundation made to settle a legal claim against Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.


“The Washington Post reporting on this has been very, very sketchy. They’ve been found to be factually incorrect on a number of bases,” said Pence, the running mate of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump.

But the Trump campaign has not publicly identified any flaws in the Post’s reporting, which has identified more than $250,000 in payments from the Trump Foundation to settle legal claims and discovered that Trump hadn’t contributed to his own foundation since 2008.
