Former Vice President Mike Pence provided details to special counsel Jack Smith about the aftermath of the 2020 election, revealing that Trump surrounded himself with “crank” attorneys, espoused “un-American” legal theories, and almost pushed the country toward a “constitutional crisis.”
Pence also told investigators that he warned Trump about the lack of evidence of significant election fraud before the Jan. 6, 2021, riot.

“Speaking with special counsel Jack Smith’s team earlier this year,” ABC News wrote, the former Vice President “offered harrowing details about how, in the wake of the 2020 presidential election,” Trump “surrounded himself with ‘crank’ attorneys, espoused ‘un-American’ legal theories, and almost pushed the country toward a ‘constitutional crisis,’ according to sources familiar with what Pence told investigators.”
“My only higher loyalty was to God and the Constitution,” Pence said to Smith’s team.
“Pence said he grew concerned when, within days of the election, Trump began ignoring the advice of credible and experienced attorneys inside the White House, instead relying on outside attorneys like Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, who pushed notions of widespread election fraud and, as Pence allegedly told Smith’s team, ‘did a great disservice to the president and a great disservice to the country,’” ABC noted.
He also shared previously undisclosed anecdotes about his friendship with Trump unraveling in the final weeks of their time in the White House.
