Former vice president Mike Pence called former president Donald Trump’s indictment by a Manhattan grand jury an “outrage” while speaking with National Review editor Rich Lowry at the National Review Institute’s Ideas Summit on Friday.
“The unprecedented indictment of a former president of the United States for a campaign finance issue is an outrage,” Pence said, suggesting that most Americans can see it is “nothing short of a political prosecution.”
He noted Bragg “literally campaigned on bringing charges against one particular American.”
“That should be offensive to every American — left right and center. Every American deserves equal treatment under the law,” he said.
He later added that the indictment “sends a terrible message to the wider world about American justice.”
“Thereare dictators and authoritarians aroun the world who will point to that to justify their own abuse of their own so-called justice system,” he said.
