Former Vice President Mike Pence said Tuesday that he could not defend former President Donald Trump against the "very serious" allegations in his recent indictment.
Sitting down for an interview with The Wall Street Journal, the recently-announced candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination took several shots at his ex-boss, who he is now running against.
"Having read the indictment, these are very serious allegations. And I can't defend what is alleged," Pence explained. "But the President is entitled to his day in court, he's entitled to bring a defense, and I want to reserve judgment until he has the opportunity to respond."
Pence specifically took issue with the accusation that many of the documents housed at Trump's Mar-a-Lago property in Palm Beach, Florida, pertained to United States military vulnerabilities and its nuclear program.
However, the onetime congressman and Indiana governor admitted that it was difficult for him to believe that politics had no role in the Department of Justice's decision to pursue 37 charges against the former president.
"I think millions of Americans are deeply troubled by this indictment, particularly given the fact that Hillary Clinton engaged in very similar behavior in the 2016 campaign and did not face indictment," Pence argued.
His comments arrived hours after Trump was arraigned by a federal district court in Miami, Florida, on the recommendation of DOJ special counsel John L. Smith's office, which was tasked with investigating him.
Pence revealed his long-shot bid for the GOP nod last week, taking on Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley, and Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina.

What a traitor.
Pence needs to be similarly charged.
Turkey....
Oh I hate that man!
Creep!
Judas Pence was the ‘insurance policy’
Tucker had a few choice words for Pence tonight!
Worm.
Noble Brutus.
Two immediate thoughts.
Keep digging that hole
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt
He did and a few words about Pompeo who I used to think was one of the good guys....
Pence is a worm.
“Pence is a worm.”
That is an insult to worms everywhere. You should be ashamed.
He has no problem hitching his wagon to Trump’s star and giving a list of all of “their” accomplishments when it benefits him.
Then he has no problem betraying him — yet AGAIN.
Benedict Arnold is known for one thing, betrayal. Judas is known for one thing, betrayal. Brutus is known for one thing, betrayal. Japan during WWII was known for one thing, betrayal.
Disloyalty is a hard thing to swallow for American Voters.
More than a few about Pompeo. He verbally wrecked the fraud. I love Tucker!
That is an insult to worms everywhere.
This, then, Pence is worm castings.
Judas Pence literally was given a coin of silver afterwards
