Attorney George Conway suggested that former President Donald Trump is „afraid“ of what former Vice President Mike Pence could say. Trump on Friday evening released a statement taking aim at Pence after the former vice president explained that Trump was „wrong“ to claim that he had the authority to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
