Vice president of the United States from 2017 to 2021
A former Trump White House lawyer took aim at former President Trump’s “aspirational” defense in his federal Jan. 6 case, where he is charged with four counts related to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

You know, that’s — that’s aspirational, but it leads to a crime. And that’s exactly what Trump did with Pence.”
