Trump was ‘wrong’ to seek to overturn Biden victory, says Mike Pence

The US Republican Party has described the storming of the Capitol in January last year as “legitimate political discourse” – voting to censure two leading Republican politicians who took part in the inquiry into the violent riots, and President Trump’s role in fuelling it, including urging former Vice-President Mike Pence not to certify the election results.

But last night Pence broke with the former president, disputing Mr Trump’s claim that he could have overturned the result.
