Trump Jr. interview cut off after charity questions

Source: Poltico

Donald Trump Jr.'s interview with a Pennsylvania TV station ended abruptly after a reporter asked the Republican presidential candidate's eldest son about Washington Post reports that Trump used foundation funds to pay for a portrait of himself at an auction.

“You’re a director of the Trump Foundation charity. Did you sign off on charity money for a portrait?” WTAE reporter Bob Mayo asked in a segment aired Wednesday evening, with the Trump Organization executive in town to open his father's western Pennsylvania campaign headquarters.

Trump Jr. responded, "No, I don't know anything about that."

As Mayo asked, "So how come you didn't know," a voice off-camera said, "All right. That's it. ... We have to move on to the next ... next one, thank you."

This is why the media sucks up to Trump. If you dare ask the hard questions, or fact check them, they deny you access. If Anderson Cooper suggests that he might call Trump on his lies, he will be out as moderator. The MSM is driven by profit, and they would rather give Trump a free pass, rather than be denied access.
