Trump tweeted on Saturday that he had “turned down a meeting with Charles and David Koch,” but staff for the two billionaire political activists delicately suggested that wasn't quite true.
“I know a meeting didn’t happen. You'll have to talk to him about what his facts are,” Mark Holden, senior vice president and legal counsel for Koch Industries, told reporters.
Politico reported on Friday that top Trump donors tried to set up a meeting between Trump and Charles Koch while the candidate was in Colorado Springs on Friday for a rally, but that Koch aides had declined. Politico cited unnamed Republicans with knowledge of the outreach.
Koch staff repeatedly told reporters Saturday that they’re not focused on the outcome of the presidential race between Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton. "We’re focusing on the Senate,” said spokesman James Davis.
When reporters pressed on why the Kochs would have asked to meet with Trump if they’re not getting involved in the presidential race, Davis repeated that the Koch network is focused only on the Senate.
Trump tweeted earlier Saturday: “I turned down a meeting with Charles and David Koch. Much better for them to meet with the puppets of politics, they will do much better!”
Asked if there had been any contact between the Koch network and the Trump campaign while Trump was in town, Holden said: “None that I’m aware of. I don’t know of any.”
