Entrepreneur and GOP presidential hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy ripped the legacy media for doing the "bidding" of the government relating to the recent federal indictment of former President Donald Trump.

"I think it is shameful that I, as a competitor to President Trump in this race, have to ask questions that the media isn't asking," Ramaswamy told CNN's Dana Bash. "The job of the political media, if it has one job, is to hold the U.S. government accountable, and, instead you're seeing the media do the bidding of the U.S. government."

The legacy media needs to do its job and ask the right questions, according to Ramaswamy.

"Get to the bottom of what Biden told Garland and what Garland told Jack Smith," he said. "If the same shoe fit the other foot you would not take their word at face value. Do not take their word now. Get to the bottom of it. Let's actually restore journalism in this country."

Getting to the truth is missing in today's legacy media, Ramaswamy said, and Bash did not appear to take the comment well.

"Thank you for that," she said. "We are absolutely asking these questions, and we know how to be good journalists because we do it every single day."

Earlier in the interview, Ramaswamy chided the investigation against Trump and the allegations accompanying it.

"I disagree with the allegations," he said. "I do not believe those allegations because of, I think, the intellectual dishonesty in that indictment.

"I think the federal court is actually, I think based on the precedent of the Clinton's sock drawer case, where effectively Judge Jackson said that it is at the president's, her words not mine, sole discretion as to what is and is not covered as a presidential record."
