Thursday in Warren, OH, MSNBC’s Kasie Hunt confronted Vice President Joe Biden over whether Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has been “100 percent ethical,” in light of the various pay-to-play accusations between then-Secretary Hillary Clinton’s State Department and her family’s organization, the Clinton Foundation.
Partial transcript as follows:
HUNT: Hillary Clinton obviously is not on the trail. You’re here in Ohio. Do you think she needs to be out front with the American people a little bit more?
BIDEN: She is out front with the American people.
HUNT: She’s been fund-raising for a couple weeks.
BIDEN: She has to, but she’s also been doing a lot of events and I told her I’d campaign with her in Scranton. We got a whole bunch of places we’re campaigning together and some places where maybe I can help and not have her have to be with me.
HUNT: Do you think Americans should be concerned at all about the ethics of The Clinton Foundation? Has The Clinton Foundation always been 100 percent ethical in your view?’
BIDEN: I think The Clinton Foundation, like all foundations, have found themselves in a position where things are changing and I think she’s going to change, adjust to the realities of how complicated it’s all become.
HUNT: Is she clearing herself up enough with that? Should the foundation have stopped taking foreign donations now?
BIDEN: I think you’ll stop seeing them taking foreign donations.
