In an interview with CNN later Thursday, Mike Pence called it an 'outrage,' arguing that the case against Trump is 'tenuous' and will 'only further serve to divide our country.'
Mike Pence called Donald Trump's indictment by a Manhattan grand jury an "outrage" and will "only further serve to divide our country."
The charge or charges against him are not yet known while the indictment remains under seal, though he has been under investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg over money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels in the final days of the 2016 campaign, to keep Daniels from going public with a claim of an affair that he denies.
In an interview with CNN later Thursday, Mike Pence called it an "outrage," arguing that the case against Trump is "tenuous" and will "only further serve to divide our country." He declined to say if Trump should be disqualified or drop out of the 2024 race if he is convicted but also said that there is "no reason for calling for people to be protesting" the indictment, despite Trump's statements otherwise.
Attached to her tweet was a video of a previous appearance on Fox News, in which she alleged Bragg was looking to score "political points." "This is a travesty and it should not be happening in the greatest country on Earth. The presumption of innocence is central to our legal system, yet is selectively discarded by those on the far left today," Scott said.

While traveling the country and visiting early nominating states such as Iowa, Pence doesn’t hide his time in Trump’s White House. But the new emphasis on his earlier years in politics marks an effort to flesh out his profile as he moves closer to taking on the former president and to remind Republicans there’s more to him than just being Trump’s No. 2.
