Vice President Mike Pence distanced himself from the president and his campaign team after Donald Trump Jr. released emails showing he accepted an offer of help from a Russian government lawyer.
Pence has repeatedly denied that any Trump campaign associates had met with Russians but the presidents son revealed that he scheduled a June 9, 2016 meeting, along with Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort, with a Kremlin-linked lawyer who had damaging information about Hillary Clinton.

The vice president is working every day to advance the presidents agenda, Pence said in a statement. He was not aware of the meeting. He is also not focusing on stories about the campaign especially those pertaining to the time before he joined the campaign.
