“Of course there is, we lived through it,” Pence replied when CNBC’s Joe Kernan asked about Trump’s “two-tiered justice system” complaint. “None of that changes that the handling of classified materials is a very serious matter.”

“I cannot defend what is alleged,” Pence also said. “This indictment contains serious charges. And as I’ve said here on the panel, I can’t defend what’s alleged there. The handling of classified materials is vitally important for the country.”

“No one is above the law,” Pence also said. “I cannot defend what is alleged. The very prospect that highly classified material could have fallen into the wrong hands even inadvertently, jeopardizes our national security. The former president has a right to his day in court.”

[Prosecutors still have to prove those allegations beyond a reasonable doubt in court. If they can, though, Pence is correct — perhaps even more especially on the obstruction-related charges. — Ed]
