Pence made the remarks in an interview with NBC News’ Meet the Press, where he said he would encourage the Trump administration to drop the fund, which is designed to compensate people who claim they were unfairly investigated or prosecuted by the government \u2014 including those who attacked police officers during the January 6, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n
