In a noteworthy statement, the lawyer representing Donald Trump expressed his eagerness to have former Vice President Mike Pence testify in court during Trump’s trial for his alleged involvement in overturning the 2020 election results. John Lauro, the lawyer, carefully studied Pence’s book and believes that if the former vice president testifies consistently with the book, it would lead to Trump’s acquittal. Lauro made these remarks during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week” as part of his tour of Sunday talk shows. Lauro believes that Pence would be one of their strongest witnesses during the trial.
Lauro further explained his reasons for wanting Pence to testify during an interview on “Face the Nation.” Despite the indictment portraying Pence as the main obstacle to nullifying the Electoral College results and keeping Trump in office, Lauro believes that Pence’s testimony would support their case. He cited two reasons for this, stating that Pence agrees with John Eastman’s legal advice to Trump and acknowledges that there were irregularities, fraud, and unlawful actions at the state level during the election. According to Lauro, this would undermine any allegations of criminal intent on Trump’s part.
Lauro also dismissed the accusations in the indictment and the findings of the Jan. 6 House committee. He denied that Trump pressured Pence to block the election results, claiming that it was merely a disagreement between the two. Pence, on the other hand, publicly expressed his belief that anyone who prioritizes themselves over the Constitution should never be president. Despite potential non-compliance with the Constitution, Lauro argued that a technical violation does not constitute a violation of criminal law.
