Former Vice President Mike Pence said 'no one is above the law' after former President Donald Trump's federal indictment over classified documents, but added it was 'a troubling day'
Trump was indicted on federal charges Thursday evening stemming from Special Counsel Jack Smith's months-long investigation. The stunning development marks the first time that a former president’s faced federal charges.Former President Donald Trump speaks at his Mar-a-Lago estate Tuesday, April 4, 2023, in Palm Beach, Fla., after being arraigned earlier in the day in New York City.
"I think over the last several years the American people have lost a lot of trust in our federal justice system and I think he’s correct to point that out. But at the same time, it’s true that no one is above the law. I think that’s simply the point that he’s trying to make," the aide said.
An indictment for any alleged crime, the accompanying perp walk and ensuing court hearings would sound like a death knell for a politician on the ballot. But for Trump — who’s hardly a normal politician — it appears to be a gift in the race for the GOP nomination.
