Former Vice President Mike Pence responded to the Fulton County, Georgia, indictment of former President Donald J. Trump, saying that “no one’s above the law” and that “the Georgia election was not stolen.”

“Now, this week comes another indictment regarding the former president’s conduct in the days leading up to the close of our administration,” Mr. Pence, who is one of President Trump’s rivals for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, said during an Aug. 16 appearance at the National Conference of State Legislatures in Indianapolis.
