“Well, I can tell you, in a recent interview after the election, the president-elect summed up his view of his interest in his business life with two words. He said, ‘Who cares?'” Pence replied to Wallace.

“And I can tell you, sitting shoulder to shoulder with him through these interviews, watching him talk to world leaders on the phone, one after another, from hours after the election, the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, is completely focused on the people’s business,” Pence added. “And I promise you, and I can assure the public that they’ll have the proper separation from their business enterprise.”

Addressing Wallace’s criticism of Trump’s children being involved in his administration, Pence referred to Trump’s offspring as “extraordinary men and women, fully capable of leading that enterprise. I know he’s going to lead America with 110 percent of his focus.”
