Donald Trump asked his then-Vice President Mike Pence if he was scared during the Capitol riot at a meeting just five days after the violence in which some Trump supporters built a gallows and chanted Hang Mike Pence! Pence wrote in his new memoir.

Trump looked tired, and his voice seemed fainter than usual during their conversation on Jan. 11, 2021, Pence wrote in an adapted excerpt from So Help Me God that The Wall Street Journal published on Wednesday.

Trump asked about Pence, then-second lady Karen Pence and their daughter Charlotte Pence.

I replied tersely that we were fine and told him that they had been at the Capitol on Jan. 6. He responded with a hint of regret, I just learned that, Pence recalled in the book out Tuesday.
