The information of former US President Donald Trump that the vice president could annul the results of the 2020 presidential election is false. This was told by former US Vice President Mike Pence, Bloomberg reports.
“I heard this week that President Trump said I had the right to ‘cancel the election’ Trump is wrong. I had no right to cancel the election. The presidency belongs to the American people and only to the American people,” Pence said.
It also became known that Pence’s words were “the most decisive public rebuke” to Trump. At the same time, the former vice president said that he was proud of the fact that he “fulfilled his oath to support and defend the US Constitution,” despite Trump’s pressure and the January 6 riots.
The storming of the Capitol building took place on January 6, 2021 during a rally of supporters of former US President Donald Trump who did not recognize the results of the November vote, according to which Democrat Joe Biden was elected the next head of state. The protests led to large-scale clashes with the police.
