An adviser to former President Donald Trump disputed a report claiming the former commander-in-chief told advisers that he would not speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Florida if former Vice President Mike Pence attended.
The Washington Examiner, which cited alleged anonymous sources for its claims, said Trump told friends that if Pence showed up to the event, he wouldn’t attend. “As far as Trump is concerned, there is no way back for Pence,” the Examiner quoted “a source close to the president” as saying, adding that “Trump did not want to share a stage with his former deputy.”
