Ohio Sen. JD Vance said he attended Donald Trump’s secret trial Tuesday to support the former president.
“I was there to support a friend,” Vance told Fox News.
“It’s a very depressing way to spend five or six weeks of your life when you know you’re innocent, as Donald Trump knows,” Vance said. “Recognizing that it is sometimes a little lonely to sit alone, I offered to come and maybe just be a friendly face in the courtroom. »
Vance reiterated that he “never spoke” to Trump about his position as vice president. He said speculation about vice presidential candidates did not arise when he appeared in court with Sen. Tommy Tuberville. Other potential vice presidential candidates, such as North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, were also in attendance.
“I see the same media reports as everyone else,” Vance said. “I certainly want to help the president, whatever form that takes, but I have never talked to Donald Trump about becoming his vice president.”
Using the same language as Burgum, Vance described Trump’s ex-lawyer Michael Cohen as a “serial perjurer.” He also argued that the silence was an insult to Trump and the American people.
