Former Vice President Mike Pence walked a fine line in discussing the unprecedented indictment of his one-time boss — former President Donald Trump.
Pence called the news of the indictment "not just a sad day, but a troubling day for millions of Americans," repeating in a Fox News Digital interview what he had said a during a nationally syndicated radio appearance, a campaign rally, and during a scrum with reporters.
"I think it’s important that people remember that no one is above the law" he said.
But he immediately added that "no one is beneath the law either. Every American entitled to be innocent until proven guilty and the former president is entitled to a presumption of innocence. And any decision about the campaign or his way ahead should be built on a presumption of innocence."
And during his campaign speech he had emphasized that the "handling of classified materials of the United States is a serious matter."
Pence’s comments came a couple of hours after he made similar points during a national radio interview with conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt.
