Donald Trump's defense attorney says the former president never asked Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 election.
Vice President Mike Pence speaks alongside President Donald Trump during a coronavirus task force briefing at the White House in Washington on March 22, 2020.
The former president on Sunday also lashed out at the judge overseeing the case, U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan. On his Truth Social platform, Trump said his legal team would be “immediately asking for recusal of this judge,” as well as to move the case outside of Washington.The pronouncements were Trump’s latest legal wrangling, made in full public view, as he faces charges that could carry decades in prison if he is convicted.
Speaking on ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos,” Lauro said Pence’s testimony will show Trump believed the election was rigged and that he was listening to the advice of his attorneys when he sought to delay the certification. Pence, who appeared before the grand jury that indicted Trump, said he will comply with the law if asked to testify.
“They were asking me to overturn the election. I had no right to overturn the election,” Pence said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “He knew well that he had lost the election,” Trump’s former Attorney General Bill Barr told CNN last week. Responding to questions about whether Trump can get a fair trial in the nation’s capital, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a former federal prosecutor and a Republican, said he can.“Yes, I believe jurors can be fair. I believe in the American people,” Christie said Sunday on CNN.
