Mike Pence's former adviser says DOJ subpoena acts as 'security blanket' for ex-VP's possible 2024 run
Fox News
A former aide to Mike Pence said the Justice Department's subpoena acts as a "security blanket" ahead of 2024, working as "political top cover" if he wants to testify against Trump.
"I do think he has an intention to run, and with the subpoena I think it gives him political top cover. This is sort of the security blanket that I think Mike Pence has been looking for in terms of coming forward and actually talking about what really happened in a very honest and truthful way behind closed doors," Troye said. "And then publicly, he can say, ‘look, I was compelled legally. I didn’t willingly do this.’ And he has some political top cover there for the base of the Republican Party. Although, I feel like that base is gone. Although in his calculation, maybe he still thinks that he can win them back."
