Mr. Trump, who’s additionally operating for president, mentioned final week he expects to be criminally charged for a 3rd time, with the most recent case stemming from his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. 

He is at present dealing with expenses for alleged marketing campaign finance violations in Manhattan for hush-money funds to ladies earlier than the 2016 election to protect extramarital affairs and for alleged mishandling of categorized paperwork at his Mar-a-Lago property after leaving workplace.

“I’ve said many times that the president’s words were reckless, that I had no right to overturn the election,” Mr. Pence mentioned. “But while his words were reckless, based on what I know, I’m not yet convinced they were criminal.”
