On Saturday, President Donald Trump affirmed that he remains sure of Vice President Pence’s loyalty towards him, reports The Hill.
A Look at President Trump’s Statements
President Trump expressed his certainty in Pence after the publication of a New York Times piece which alleged that Trump questioned his staffers about Pence’s loyalty. Since the release of the article, the president maintains that such allegations are fictitious and “phony.”
While departing from the White House, Trump gave the following statements to the press:
“No, I don’t question his loyalty at all. He is 100 percent loyal. It was a phony story, a typical New York Times phony story. He is a trooper. I could not be happier.”
Vice President Pence has also denied the assertions of the New York Times. Pence maintains that he and Trump share a “very strong” and “very close” relationship. The vice president furthermore claimed that he and Trump “had a good laugh” over the matter.
Finally, the president took to Twitter on Saturday to blast the report. He also questioned why the Times failed to seek a direct quote from him.
