Pence dismisses 'Anonymous' book claim that senior officials believed VP would back 25th Amendment push

The Vice President dismissed the report and called on the book's author ⁠— who has been described as a senior Trump administration official who previously alleged there's an internal administration resistance to Trump in a 2018 NYT op-ed ⁠— to resign

Washington Senior White House officials were certain Vice President Mike Pence would back an effort to have President Donald Trump removed from office over concerns about his mental state, the"Anonymous" administration official plans to claim in their forthcoming book, a source close to the book process confirms to CNN's Jake Tapper.

The book doesn't say Pence actually said he would support such a move, according to a summary of an excerpt first reported by HuffPost, which the source described as accurate. The Vice President dismissed the report Thursday and called on the book's author -- who has been described as a senior Trump administration official who previously alleged there's an internal administration resistance to Trump in a 2018 New York Times op-ed -- to resign.
