Former President Donald Trump in a new court filing alleged former Vice President Mike Pence of attempting to “curry favor” with the Department of Justice (DOJ) in his Jan. 6-related case in a bid to evade criminal charges.

In a court filing on Monday, the former president’s lawyers suggested Mr. Pence may have provided information to the federal government to avoid charges for allegedly being in possession of classified materials after departing the White House. Earlier this year, a spokesman for the former vice president told media outlets that a “small number” of classified documents was found at his home in Indiana.
