A senior administration official says the two met on Monday evening in the Oval Office. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private meeting, said the two had a good conversation , discussing the week ahead and reflecting on the administrations accomplishments over the last four years. The official said that during the meeting, both men agreed that those who broke the law and stormed the Capitol last week do not represent the America first movement backed by 75 million Americans and pledged to continue working on behalf of the country for the remainder of their term. The person did not mention Trump s lingering anger over Pence s refusal to go along with his unconstitutional scheme to try to overturn the results of the November election that he lost.
