Mark Cuban says he was asked to help pay Trump to leave presidential race

WASHINGTON — Dallas billionaire Mark Cuban said Friday that he was personally approached for help by someone who wanted to pay Donald Trump to drop out of the presidential race.

Cuban was asked earlier in the day by reporters on Hillary Clinton's campaign plane if the Koch brothers, major Republican donors, had attempted to bribe Trump to leave the GOP primaries. “They tried,” he said, though he later clarified that he didn't mean the Kochs were involved.

The reason Trump did not accept the deal, Cuban said, was that they "didn't offer him enough."

Cuban told The Dallas Morning News in an email that "someone" tried to recruit him to make a Trump offer.

compassion for how distaught he'll be after his loss.

How could he ever face us? We need to be understanding and keep him far away.
