Mike Pence Expresses Confidence in American People Amid Trump’s Potential Indictment

Former​ Vice President Mike‌ Pence expressed his doubts about the criminality of Donald Trump’s actions on January 6, 2021, as the former president faces a ⁢potential indictment for his role in the Capitol riot. In an interview with ‍CNN’s ⁣Dana‌ Bash on “State of the Union,” Pence stated ⁤that he is “not yet convinced” of Trump’s criminality and hopes it doesn’t come‍ to that.

Pence highlighted⁢ the concerns he heard from Americans during town hall meetings in New Hampshire about the unequal treatment of the law. He believes that another indictment against Trump would only contribute to the sense of unequal treatment among the American people.​ Pence suggested that these issues and the judgment ​of Trump’s ‌conduct on January 6 should be left to the American people in the upcoming primaries.

Although Pence acknowledged that Trump’s actions⁤ on January 6 were reckless, ⁣he expressed his belief that ⁣history would hold Trump accountable. When asked about Trump’s recent⁣ comments regarding his passionate ‌supporters and their potential reaction to his imprisonment, Pence stated that he ⁣has more confidence in the American people‍ and their commitment to the country, law, and order.

Pence maintained his stance ‍despite being reminded by Bash that he was ‌the subject of⁣ calls for his hanging during ⁣the Capitol riot. He described the people who supported their ⁢cause in 2016 and 2020 as God-fearing, law-abiding, and patriotic individuals.

Pence shifted the conversation ⁣to address concerns about unequal treatment under the law.‌ He pointed to whistleblowers⁣ who⁢ claimed that the IRS recommended charging President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter ⁢Biden, with more serious crimes than what he pleaded guilty to. Pence also alleged political⁣ interference in the investigation and vowed to “clean ‍house” among the Department of Justice’s top ranks if he becomes president.

When‌ pressed on whether he believes Trump should be⁤ indicted if there is evidence of his criminality, ‌Pence stated that Trump was wrong on that day and​ continues to be wrong in​ asserting that Pence had the right ⁢to ‍overturn the election. However, Pence ‌emphasized that criminal charges ⁣depend on intent and⁤ he honestly doesn’t know what‍ Trump’s intention was on January 6.
