At the North Carolina Republican convention, Former Vice President Mike Pence expressed his disapproval of the Department of Justice’s 37-count indictment levied against his former boss, Donald Trump, regarding an alleged conspiracy to conceal top-secret documents from authorities seeking their return. Instead of blaming Trump, Pence criticized Attorney General Merrick Garland and urged him to stand before the American people to explain why the indictment was issued. Pence ignored repeated questions from reporters about whether he believed the indictment would have been issued if Trump had turned over improperly retained classified documents when the FBI requested them. Despite being nearly killed during Trump’s Jan. 6, 2021, coup attempt in Washington, Pence has remained relatively measured in his criticisms of Trump, with only his campaign announcement last week featuring Pence saying, for the first time, that Trump’s behavior after the 2020 election through the Jan. 6 insurrection disqualified him from being president again. Pence’s stance aligns him with most other candidates running for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination against Trump, except for former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who have publicly stated that Trump is to blame for his troubles and that his actions made him unfit for the presidency.
