Former Vice President Mike Pence Speaks Out on Trump’s Indictment

“Having read the indictment, these are very serious allegations. And I can’t defend what is alleged,” Pence said. “But the president is entitled to his day in court, he’s entitled to bring a defense, and I want to reserve judgment until he has the opportunity to respond.”

In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, former Vice President Mike Pence expressed his concern over former President Donald Trump’s indictment for alleged mishandling of classified documents. Pence stressed the principle of innocent until proven guilty and said he would wait to make a final judgment until after the court made a final decision.

Despite his Disclaimer regarding innocent until proven guilty, Pence contrasted his own stance regarding classified information to that of Trump. He emphasized the importance of protecting our nation’s secrets and called out the politicization of the Department of Justice, pledging to straighten it out if he is elected.
