Mike Pence told NBC News the question of pardoning Donald Trump was “premature” and blasted his 2024 rivals for assuming Trump will even need a pardon.
Said Pence: “I don’t know why some of my competitors in the Republican primary presume the president will be found guilty. Look, all we know is what the president has been accused of in the indictment. We don’t know what his defense is.”
