Lin Wood, of the pro-Trump lawyer prediction that Vice President Mike Pence could “face execution by firing squad” for “treason” is driving Trumpworld to try once again to distance himself from the Atlanta attorney. Jenna Ellis, a Trump campaign attorney, declared in a tweet on Friday night: “I do not support the statements of lawyer Lin Wood. I support the rule of law and the US Constitution. ”Wood criticized Pence after his lawyers contested a lawsuit by Texas deputy Louie Gohmert, who sought to force the vice president to block the counting of electoral votes for Joe Biden when Congress met to ratify the election.
Separately, Nicholas Sandmann, the former student at Covington Catholic High School that Wood represented in defamation proceedings against media outlets for covering a confrontation at the Lincoln Memorial, linked to Wood’s Pence’s tweet with comment, “I’m sorry, what the hell.”
