However, Joe Biden seems to have escaped the fire from the media, his Biden regime and the FBI when the classified documents were discovered in his home in august.<\/p>\n<p>Trump even ran to defend his former right hand man when Pence made himself known to the Feds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMike Pence is an innocent man. He never did anything knowingly dishonest in his life. Leave him alone!!!\u201d Trump stated Truth on his social media platform.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s defense of Pence wasn\u2019t just surprising thanks to the Republicans\u2019 hot and cold relationship. It was especially magnanimous considering Pence\u2019s previous statements dunking on Trump for keeping top-secret information in his home. <\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the FBI raided former president Trump\u2019s home in August, Pence <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/donald-trump-mar-a-lago-iowa-classified-information-merrick-garland-94814cb950a2a9f89dc0c54aec46ce7c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Be reassured<\/a> According to the media, he didn&#8217;t take any classified documents with him when he left White House. Despite clear signs that Trump was under attack, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/08\/11\/attorney-general-merrick-garland-admits-he-personally-approved-fbi-raid-on-trumps-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Authorized<\/a> Merrick Garland, the author, was politically motivated.

And clearly, possessing classified documents in an unprotected area is not proper,\u201d Pence <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xRRhDFjDMYw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a> in an interview on NBC\u2019s Chuck Todd in November. <\/p>\n<p>Evidently, Pence wasn&#8217;t eager to defend Trump in his new book. \u201cSo Help Me God,\u201d Detailing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ny1.com\/nyc\/all-boroughs\/politics\/2022\/11\/15\/new-mike-pence-book-details-split-with-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">End of his \u201cclose working relationship\u201d<\/a> With the former president, the books were scheduled to be on the shelves in November. Even before Trump\u2019s document raid, Pence spent months publicly clashing and then distancing himself from the administration and president he once served. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople want to get back to the successful policies of the Trump-Pence administration, but some of the most ardent Republicans in the country had pulled me aside and said, \u2018We need leadership that will unite the country around our values,\u2019\u201d Pence said this to Todd.<\/p>\n<p>Pence did not publicly disapprove of the Department of Justice until two months after the raid. This was something that other Republicans did the day before. \u201cthe wrong message to the wider world.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pence shunned Trump when the FBI raided him with the pretext of classified documents.
