McCain cuts off questions about Saudi donation

He speaks at many of their events but he has "no link" to the institute? Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden have been featured McCain Institute speakers as well though and we all know the Clinton Foundation received 15 million from the Saudis so this isn't much of a story, but the right is screaming about it since they hate McCain.

PHOENIX - Sen. John McCain on Friday cut off questions from reporters about a $1 million donation by the government of Saudi Arabia to a non-profit that bears McCain's name.

McCain denied that he had any link to the McCain Institute for International Leadership, which was founded in 2012 at Arizona State University with a $9 million gift of leftover cash from McCain's 2008 presidential campaign.
