In his most explicit criticism of Trump since leaving office, and as he lays the groundwork for his own challenge for the White House in 2024, Pence described a furious standoff in the Oval Office in November 2020 as Trump demanded evidence to back up his claim that the election had been stolen from him through widespread fraud.
