Mike Pence is all-knowing about the White House when he needs to be and also completely out of the loop when it suits him.
In an interview with NBC News correspondent Andrea Mitchell, for example, he tried to play it both ways in the span of 60 seconds.
Asked about the most recent bombshell in a series of scandals about Trumps lawyer Michael Cohen that he sold multiple corporations access to the Trump administration for millions of dollars Pence was dismissive and ignorant.
That private matter is something I dont have any knowledge about, Pence said.
The very serious allegations are certainly not a private matter; they implicate the Trump administration directly. Both AT&T and pharma giant Novartis have confirmed payments to Cohen in exchange for access, and Novartis admitted its CEO had dinner with Trump after making its final payment to Cohen.............................

(111,094 posts)Then he cannot argue that he knew nothing about it? Did Cohen set up the meeting with Trump? Or did Trump invite him on his own?
There are still a lot of questions.
