Mike Pence says Trump team asked him to reject votes 'outright'
Trump was indicted on four federalTuesday that centered on his supposed attempts to discount legitimate votes in the 2020 presidential race and subvert the election itself. The indictment describes how Trump and his lawyers pressured Pence to overturn Joe Biden's victory by refusing to certify the results in the Senate on Jan. 6, 2021. Pence refused and had to be evacuated from the Senate chamber when members of the Jan. 6 mob called for him to be hung.
Pence has not been officially called to testify in the election case, but Lauro told ABC's "This Week" he believes Pence's testimony would help illustrate that the former president was not acting with criminal intent. Pence told CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday that if he is ultimately asked to testify, he will follow the law.
