“I think this would lead to a terrible division in the country”, – said Pence. As a democratic state, the United States should not send such a “terrible signal” to the whole world, the politician said, expressing the hope that the Department of Justice will solve all the problems with Trump without pressing charges.
It was previously reported that the prosecutor’s office officially notified Trump of the ongoing criminal proceedings against him. The former president called the accusations “unprecedented interference in the elections” and noted that for many years he was a target of the Department of Justice and the FBI.
Recall that in August of last year, FBI agents found secret White House documents at Trump’s Florida estate. Among them were documents marked “top secret” and “confidential.”
