Pence reportedly speaks 'very favorably' of Trump in GOP meeting and intends to launch a new political organization

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Tuesday told several conservative lawmakers that he has kept a tight personal friendship with former President Donald Trump and that he intends to start a political organization that will protect the legacy of the former administration, according to a CNN report.

Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana, chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, confirmed the meeting to CNN, saying that the group met in Pence's Washington DC-area transition office to discuss past achievements and the party's future.

Pence reportedly had "no ill will" towards Trump over the deadly January 6 Capitol riot, when insurrectionists breached the historic building and the former vice president and his family had to be ushered to a secure location to maintain their safety.
