N.H. police say they were unaware of any threat that would cause Pence to cancel his trip

By Colby Itkowitz July 5 at 3:14 PM

A top police official in Salem, N.H., said Friday that he was unaware of any security threat that would have caused Vice President Pence to abruptly cancel his planned visit there this week, as suggested by administration officials.

Pence was scheduled to speak with patients at an opioid recovery center Tuesday, but just before Air Force Two took off, he backed out of the trip and remained in Washington for reasons that are still undisclosed.

After some initial mixed messaging, administration officials said the trip had been canceled because of a security issue in New Hampshire, without providing any details.

President Trump hinted at that explanation Friday, telling reporters that there was “a very interesting problem that they had in New Hampshire, but I can’t tell you about it.”

“There was a problem up there, and I won’t go into what the problem was, but you’ll see in about a week or two,” Trump said.

to do or say something outrageous to take attention away from Pence's sudden recall. I'm guessing that we won't hear the truth.

If you haven't had enough evidence, last night's "speech" with the Revolutionary Army taking over airports should prove to you that Donald Trump is suffering from advanced dementia.

Pence, IMO, was summoned back to the WH b/c Trump was having an epic meltdown that Ivanka and Jared could not handle. Maybe one of his worst meltdowns. Pence was called back in case he would have to take over the government while Trump was hospitalized or something on that level.

Pence was goong to campaign in NH and pulled Pence off the campaign trail because he is dropping him from the ticket. Just a wild guess... Niki Haley. Tin foil territory?
