Vice President Mike Pence refused to say on Sunday whether he knew of the deal between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that top diplomats had described in their testimonies in the House impeachment investigation.
CBS News anchor Margaret Brennan asked Pence no less than four times if he was aware that, according to the diplomats, Trump was dangled nearly $400 million in military aid to Ukraine and a White House meeting in exchange for the Ukrainian government opening investigations in 2020 candidate Joe Biden and the DNCs server in Ukraine.
Pence refused to answer each time.

Margaret Brennan Thank you for putting Pence in the hot seat. He wouldn't answer you because, OF COURSE HE KNEW! He's one of tRump's two foreign policy guys, he was given the transcript of tRump's extortion call the day after he made it, he had that transcript also in his possession AS PART OF HIS NOTES TO DISCUSS WITH ZELENSKY IN POLAND and he dines with tRump almost daily so these to can conspire on the same page. OF COURSE HE KNEW! He discussed it with Zelensky. Go ask Zelensky!

He does it repeatedly in 2017 and here again in 2019.
We have you red-handed, Pence! You're lying and we're coming for you!!

Every time he was called on to defend outrageous things Trump had said, he simply denied that Trump had said those things. This is a man with no integrity and no credibility.
