00:00 Mike Pence has refused to back his former boss, becoming the latest senior Trump administration
00:06 official to do so.
00:07 "It should come as no surprise that I will not be endorsing Donald Trump this year."
00:14 After serving as his vice president for four years, Pence split with Trump over the January
00:19 2021 riot at the US Capitol.
00:23 Trump is sure to be the Republicans' candidate for president, but could struggle to win back
00:28 support among moderate Republicans and independents, crucial in the rematch with Joe Biden in November.
00:38 On Friday, a New York judge postponed Trump's trial over alleged hush money payments during
00:43 his 2016 campaign, one of four criminal cases against him.
00:47 "He has received a delay so far in his Washington DC case, his Florida case is expected to be
00:53 delayed and his Georgia case has not yet been scheduled.
00:57 Now this case, which was going to be the first of the four cases to go to trial, is off at
01:03 least until mid-April."
01:05 In the Georgia election interference case, a judge ruled the romantic relationship between
01:10 District Attorney Farnie Willis and her deputy Nathan Wade would prevent her from pursuing
01:15 charges, leading Wade to withdraw from the case on Friday.
