Were you worried about his safety?\u201d Karl asked Trump.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I thought he was well-protected, and I had heard that he was in good shape. No. Because I had heard he was in very good shape. But, but, no, I think \u2014,\u201d Trump responded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause you heard those chants \u2014 that was terrible.

It\u2019s common sense that you\u2019re supposed to protect. How can you \u2014 if you know a vote is fraudulent, right? \u2014 how can you pass on a fraudulent vote to Congress?\u201d Trump responded. \u201cHow can you do that? And I\u2019m telling you: 50\/50, it\u2019s right down the middle for the top constitutional scholars when I speak to them. Anybody I spoke to \u2014 almost all of them at least pretty much agree, and some very much agree with me \u2014 because he\u2019s passing on a vote that he knows is fraudulent. How can you pass a vote that you know is fraudulent?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, when I spoke to him, I really talked about all of the fraudulent things that happened during the election. I didn\u2019t talk about the main point, which is the legislatures did not approve \u2014 five states. The legislatures did not approve all of those changes that made the difference between a very easy win for me in the states, or a loss that was very close, because the losses were all very close,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s relationship with Pence <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/01\/06\/defense-secretary-national-guard-washington-dc-capitol-mike-pence-donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">turned cold<\/a> in the final days of their administration as the vice president refused to get on board with Trump\u2019s push to overturn the results of the election. Pence did not have the authority as vice president to block the certification of Biden\u2019s win, but both Trump and his supporters urged him to do so regardless.<\/p>\n<p>Both men are likely candidates to run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>ABC will release Karl\u2019s full interview with Trump on Sunday, Nov. 14.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump defended supporters who called for the hanging of former Vice President Mike Pence for certifying the results of the 2020 election, according to an audio tape &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1002604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1002604","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/158"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1002604"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1002604\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1002604"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1002604"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1002604"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
