Donald Trump has not spoken to Vice-President Mike Pence since a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Wednesday.
According to NBC News Senior Washington Correspondent Hallie Jackson “not only did President Trump not reach out to Vice President Pence, as the events of Wednesday unfolded — and remember the vice president was in a secure location with, by the way, members of his family, his wife, his daughter his brother had all come to be in attendance — but I’m told that the president has not called Vice President Pence since then.”

Video shared on social media from a livestream during the riots on January 6 appeared to show demonstrators calling for Pence to be “hanged.”
“Hang Mike Pence! Hang Mike Pence!” crowds at the Capitol in Washington, DC, yelled, stemming from his decision to not intervene on Trump’s behalf to overturn the election.
