Former President Donald Trump is intensifying his effort to advance the false narrative that his vice president, Mike Pence, could have done something to prevent Joe Biden from taking office.
In a statement on Tuesday, Trump said the committee investigating his role in sparking the violent Jan. 6 insurrection should instead probe “why Mike Pence did not send back the votes for recertification or approval.” In another statement on Sunday, he blasted Pence by falsely claiming that “he could have overturned the Election!”
During a rally in Texas, Trump said if he runs again for president and wins, he will treat “those people from Jan. 6th fairly.” A Pence spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump’s attacks. Pence will be delivering a speech Friday at the conservative Federalist Society and may respond then.
