Trump’s tortured relationship with the truth is highlighted in an exchange he allegedly had with Vice Presidenton Jan. 1, 2021. Trump, the indictment says, called Pence and “berated him” because Pence opposed efforts to claim that he alone had the power, in his ceremonial role presiding over the counting of the votes of the Electoral College, to reject the official tallies from the states.
