Trump has been indicted on four criminal charges related to the deadly Jan 6 Capitol riot by his supporters trying to overturn the 2020 election, in an historic moment for the US. In a statement released after the announcement of Trump's indictment, Pence said: "Our country is more important than one man. Our constitution is more important than any one man's career. "On January 6th, Former President Trump demanded that I choose between him and the Constitution. I chose the Constitution and I always will. "As your president, I will not yield an inch in defending America, our people, or our values, and I promise you: I will do so in a way consistent with my oath to the Constitution and the character and decency of the American people. We will restore a threshold of integrity and civility in public life so we can bring real solutions to the challenges plaguing our nation." Trump is facing a four-count indictment - conspiracy to defraud the US; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction of an official proceeding; and conspiracy against rights. Responding to the new charges, the Trump team put out a deranged statement, comparing his treatment to Nazi Germany. The unhinged rant read: "The lawlessness of these persecutions of President Trump and his supporters is reminiscent of Nazi Germany in the 1930s, the former Soviet Union, and other authoritarian, dictatorial regimes. President Trump has always followed the law and the Constitution, with advice from many highly accomplished attorneys."
