where he told host Jonathan Karl that a Trump indictment by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg would simply indulge the “radical left.” It follows similar language from Pence in recent weeks as he considers a 2024 presidential run.
Pence has not shied away from criticizing his former running mate in recent months, though he has consistently been less eager to urge his prosecution. He let out a snark “Here we go again” to reporters in Iowa on Saturday, calling an indictment politically motivated. Pence’s comments followed what he told reporters in New Hampshire on Thursday, where he left the decision to drop out of the race following an indictment up to Trump.Pence did seem more willing, however, to aid an investigation into Trump than he has in the past. Karl asked if Pence would consider speaking to special counsel Jack Smith on issues unrelated to Pence’s role as president of the Senate, ahe has pledged to use in court to try and skirt speaking before the special counsel.
