Former Vice President Mike Pence offered a scathing rebuke of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s decision to indict former President Trump.

“It is clear to the overwhelming majority of the American people that this is nothing short of a politically motivated prosecution by a Manhattan DA who literally campaigned on bringing charges against a particular American,” Pence said Friday at the National Review Institute. in Washington.

“That should offend every American, left, right and center. Every American deserves equal treatment under the law and I believe the American people will see it for what it is,” Pence said – dismissing Trump’s alleged transgression as a “financial issue of campaign.”

On Thursday night, Bragg issued a 34-count indictment against Trump. Although believed to center on hush payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels to buy her silence about an affair she claims she had with Trump in 2006, which she has denied, multiple reports say the charges include at least a felony.
