Donald Trumps running mate refused to answer questions about big donations and alleged political puppetry on Sunday, despite Republican accusations of a pay to play system run by the Democratic nominee for president, Hillary Clinton.
Last month, Trump accused Clinton of using her family-run foundation as a pay-for-play conduit through which to exchange political favors, saying: If its true, its illegal. Youre paying and youre getting things.
He has also labeled Clinton the most corrupt candidate ever and mocked fellow Republicans for soliciting money from wealthy donors such as the Koch brothers.
I wish good luck to all of the Republican candidates that traveled to California to beg for money etc from the Koch Brothers, Trump wrote last year. Puppets?

Host John Dickerson noted that Pence has himself received support from the Koch brothers, one of whom is a top donor to him and whose political groups avidly support the governors plans to reduce government regulation. Pence did not reply directly.
