CBS’ Douthat to Trump: If Joe Biden Had Investments in the Middle East, You’d Call that Corrupt — ‘Why Is It Different for You?’

EXCERPT:

DOUTHAT: "Here's what I wanna understand. So, your son manages or helps manage a cryptocurrency company called World Liberty Financial."

TRUMP: "Which -- which son are we talking about? Which?"

DOUTHAT: "You are a co-owner of that company."

TRUMP: "That's correct, yeah -- "

DOUTHAT: "Right? That's correct, right? This company is also partially owned by investors connected to the government of the United Arab Emirates. I think if I told you that story and it was about the Biden family, if I said Joe Biden is the part owner of a company and it has all of these investments from the Middle East, you would say, 'That sounds corrupt,' right -- "

TRUMP: "Well, he -- he did have a lot of different -- "

DOUTHAT: "Sure, but -- but you -- "

TRUMP: "But here's the difference -- "

DOUTHAT: " -- but -- but -- but why is it -- why is it different for you?"

TRUMP: "I'm gonna tell you why. Because I know nothing about it."
