Trump said Pence was ‘too honest’ over January 6 plot, says ex-vice-president in book

Pence also seems to blame anti-Trump Lincoln Project for angering former president with political ad, fueling Capitol attack

Shortly before the January 6 insurrection, Donald Trump warned Mike Pence he was too honest" when he hesitated to pursue legalistic attempts to stop certification of Joe Biden's 2020 election victory and would make Trump's supporters hate his guts", the former vice-president writes in his memoir.

Pence also seems, bizarrely, to blame the anti-Trump Lincoln Project for enraging Trump with a political ad, thereby fueling the anger that incited the Capitol attack.
