EXPLAINED: Outrage pence blasts trump conviction - The Real Truth

Former Vice President Mike Pence weighed in on Donald Trump’s 34 felony count conviction, undermining the verdict of 12 New York jurors who found that the former president falsified business records.

"The conviction of former President Trump on politically motivated charges is an outrage and disservice to the nation," Pence told Fox News. "No one is above the law, but our courts must not become a tool to be used against political opponents . . . To millions of Americans, this was nothing more than a political prosecution driven by a Manhattan DA who ran for office on a pledge to indict the former president and this conviction undermines confidence in our system of justice."
