Pence warns against violence in response to Trump indictment calls

TL;DR Summary
Former Vice President Mike Pence considers the potential indictment of former President Donald Trump by the Manhattan district attorney to be "deeply troubling," but emphasizes that "violence will not be tolerated" as Trump calls for protests. Pence joined other Republicans in slamming the potential indictment as "politically motivated" and an "abuse of power." However, he noted that anyone engaging in violence would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Trump's former personal attorney and longtime fixer, Michael Cohen, compared the former president's call for protests to the "battle cry" he put out before the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
