While being interviewed on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” Sunday, Republican front-runner Donald Trump said that “hedge fund guys” exert significant influence over both Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush, and when those candidates talk about reforming Wall Street and campaign finance law, “they don’t mean it.”
TRUMP: I know these guys. They’re all supporting Jeb Bush, for the most part, and Hillary Clinton. It’s funny when I hear them talk about, “Oh, we’ve got to change this and that,” they don’t mean it because they’re totally controlled. In particular, Hillary and Jeb are controlled by the hedge fund guys, you know the Wall Street guys but hedge funds in particular. They pay very little tax, and when I come out with my poll over the next three weeks … for the middle class, we’re going to be cutting taxes, but the hedge fund guys will be paying up.
