RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
DOOCY: “Since he’s not here we will try to catch up with him and to get more information on some of this but why did that happen after the primary and not before?”
OSSOFF: “The whole reason that senator Perdue is making at big deal about this is because I publicly — just consider this for a moment and let’s extend this conversation because I think it’s important that people hear this. My company has produced multiple investigations again of ISIS atrocities.”
DOOCY: “Recently we saw that the Chinese government tried to make inroads with a young Democratic lawmaker Eric Swalwell. Are you concerned that through a payment, somebody linked to China or the Chinese through another company could be trying to influence you?”
OSSOFF: “You are a serious reporter. Do you really believe that the TV channel in Hong Kong airing an investigation that my company produced a company of ISIS war crimes in Iraq?”
DOOCY: “So the Chinese government does not try to influence young politicians in the United States?”
OSSOFF: “Look. Chinese intelligence operations in the United States are a great threat to our national security. And that’s why it’s so concerning that we have a senator like David Perdue.”
DOOCY: “But Mr. Oss —”
OSSOFF: “Senator David Perdue bragged about how he spent most of his career outsourcing American jobs to China. He operated factories in shenzhen province in China in cooperation with the Chinese communist party and you should explain that on the record.”
DOOCY: “Thank you for your time, we will try to catch up with you tomorrow. Leland, will send it back to you in New York.”
