Pence doubled down on his assertion that the prosecution of Donald Trump is politically motivated, blaming the “radical left” for the former president’s potential impending arrest.
Trump is under investigation regarding an alleged $130,000 payoff to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to buy her silence ahead of the 2016 presidential election. According to Daniels, she and Trump were in a relationship in 2006 while he was married to his wife, Melania. Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen cut the check and admitted to paying Daniels and another formermodel.
In a mind-boggling turn, Pence attempted to claim that the events surrounding the hush money occurred before he joined the campaign. “As you know, those events transpired before I even joined the national ticket,” Pence said.“I can’t speak to the merits of the case,” Pence replied. “In America you’re innocent until proven guilty. That’s not always true in the national media, but it is true in our justice system.
Karl also questioned Pence about Jan. 6, confronting the former VP with shocking audio of Trump saying he was not worried about Pence’s safety that day, and he defended protesters who were chanting “Hang Mike Pence.”
