At a CBS News town hall, Tony Dokoupil tells Vice President Vance that voters see the president "making a lot of money off of crypto," that "his own IRS has barred itself from looking into his tax returns," and that the ambassador to Greece appears to be "seeming to sell access to the White House." Vance calls selling access "disgusting and despicable" and says the president "would never tolerate that behavior." He then says he wants to judge "based on the facts and not based on a random news media report that I read."

The president would never tolerate that behavior, Tony. Now, just one more question here. Go ahead. Vice President Vance, I appreciate it. The issue that voters see and that gets on their mind and that I hear what I'm out there is the president is making a lot of money off of crypto. So his own IRS has barred itself from looking into his tax returns. You have this recent issue with the ambassador to Greece seeming to sell access to the White House. That's why people are concerned. And if there's nothing to hide, you say you've seen nothing. First of all, somebody's selling access to the White House. That's disgusting and despicable when they should suffer consequences. What I'm saying is - That's an isolated incident, though. I want to make those judgments based on the facts and not based on a random news media report that I read.
