President Donald Trump reportedly was not pleased the Department of Justice responded on Vice President Mike Pence’s behalf to shoot down a lawsuit aiming to expand Pence’s powers during the electoral vote certification.
Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, filed a failed lawsuit Tuesday saying Pence could overturn the election results all by himself. President-elect Joe Biden defeated Trump in the election.
However, Pence’s lawyer, Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Coghlan, pointed out Thursday night that in order to sue, the plaintiff and the defendant must be in opposition. Here, Gohmert and Pence’s interests are aligned, per the Daily Mail.
New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman tweeted the president was not happy with Coghlan’s actions.
