Former Vice President Mike Pence, together with other Republican officials have expressed their opposition to the potential indictment of ex-President Donald Trump by the Manhattan District Attorney. The indictment, which relates to a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, has been labelled as "deeply troubling" and an "abuse of power" by Pence and other Republicans. Trump himself has called for protests from his supporters, with his former lawyer Michael Cohen comparing it to a "battle cry" before Jan. Capitol Attack's 6 Capitol attack. Pence has urged protesters to remain peaceful, warning that any violence is in the fullest extent met with prosecution.
