Pence pledges to work with Trump ‘for remainder of their term’ amid talk of invoking the 25th Amendment

Mike Pence is said to have vowed to work with Donald Trump for the “remainder of their term", amid speculation the vice president may invoke the 25th Amendment.

The president and his deputy reportedly had “a good conversation” at the White House, their first since last week’s storming of the US Capitol by hundreds of supporters of Mr Trump, seeking to stop the certification of votes for Joe Biden.

Five people - including one police officer - lost their lives as a result of the incident, which Mr Trump had encouraged during a fiery speech to supporters, who he encouraged to walk to the US Capitol.

Mr Biden and other Democrats have accused Mr Trump of encouraging “an insurrection”, and vowed to find some way to hold him accountable, even though he has less than two weeks of his presidency remaining.
