US vice presidential candidate Mike Pence during a televised debate on Wednesday, October 7, with Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris, did not answer the question of what he would do if President Donald Trump refused admit defeat in the elections.
Instead, the Republican recalled Trump’s accusations against the previous US administration of illegal surveillance of his campaign headquarters, CNN reports.
“With Vice President Biden (under President Barack Obama – ed.), The FBI was monitoring Trump’s campaign. The records presented by the CIA this week refer to the FBI documents, which trace the connection with Hillary Clinton, ”he said.
Earlier on Tuesday, it became known that the head of US National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, declassified documents that relate to possible plans of ex-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016 to accuse his rival in the presidential race Donald Trump of some kind of collusion with Russia in order to divert attention from scandal around his email.
Trump later announced that he had ordered the declassification of all materials about the investigation of his alleged ties with Russia, as well as the Hillary Clinton email scandal.
The US authorities accused Russia of interfering in the elections in 2016, Moscow denies this. On the basis of an unconfirmed report on Trump’s “ties to Russia,” US intelligence agencies have been monitoring Trump’s staff. Subsequently, the “Russian case” was investigated by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller, who found no evidence of “Trump’s collusion with Russia.”
