'I hope it does not come to that,' Pence said on a potential Trump indictment over efforts to overturn the 2020 election. 'His actions were reckless,' Pence said. He added: 'I don't honestly know what his intention was' on Jan. 6, 2021.
President of the United States from 2017 to 2021WASHINGTON - Former U.S. vice president and Republican presidential candidate Mike Pence said on Sunday he felt former President Donald Trump's words and actions leading up to the Capitol attacks on Jan. 6, 2021, were reckless though not likely criminal.
Trump said on Tuesday he had received a letter saying he is a target of a grand jury investigation into efforts to overturn his 2020 presidential election defeat. "I hope it does not come to that," Pence said on a potential Trump indictment over efforts to overturn the 2020 election. He said it should be left to the American public to determine whether Trump was responsible.
Ahead of the 2021 Capitol attacks by Trump supporters, the then-president repeatedly lambasted Pence for refusing to try to prevent Congress from certifying Biden's win in the 2020 election.
