Mike Pence Condemns DOJ Fund Compensating Jan. 6 Rioters as Deeply Offensive

Former Vice President Mike Pence has publicly criticized the Department of Justice's new compensation fund, calling it 'deeply offensive' for potentially paying individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riots. Pence is urging the Trump administration to scrap the fund, arguing that compensating those who attacked the seat of democracy undermines justice and national integrity. This stance highlights ongoing internal friction regarding how the administration handles legacy issues from the previous Biden administration.
