Pence hopes DOJ uses 'very high threshold' when considering indicting Trump -
Mr. Pence said he fears a federal indictment would add to the political polarization that plagues the national discourse and would send a terrible message to the world.
Mr. Pence launched his presidential bid Wednesday in Iowa and then appeared at a CNN Town Hall where he turned some heads when he said he hoped a federal indictment didn’t come down against Mr. Trump. “President Biden had no business having him in his residence from when he was vice president as well, and the same with former President Trump,” he said. “But I would just hope that there would be a way for them to move forward without the dramatic and drastic and divisive step of indicting a former president of the United States.”
Mr. Trump’s legal woes have hung over the GOP presidential race, though polls show the legal drama has hardened his support in the nomination race.
