Mike Pence took notes on his conversations and phone calls with Donald Trump ahead of January 6th as he pressured him to overturn the election. Pence correctly told Trump that he had no power to overturn the election, and that Trump’s lawyer told him he did not have the power to unilaterally declare the winner of the election.
During one phone call, Trump told Pence while trying to pressure him to overturn the election, “You’re too honest.”
Mike Pence released a statement after Trump’s indictment stating, “Today’s indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States
I will have more to say about the government’s case after reviewing the indictment. The former president is entitled to the presumption of innocence but with this indictment, his candidacy means more talk about January 6th and more distractions.
As Americans, his candidacy means less attention paid to Joe Biden’s disastrous economic policies afflicting millions across the United States and to the pattern of corruption with Hunter.
“Our country is more important than one man. Our constitution is more important than any one man’s career.
On January 6th, Former President Trump demanded that I choose between him and the Constitution. I chose the Constitution and I always will.”
