In a rare public break from President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday praised Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who has repeatedly and increasingly faced the wrath of the commander in chief.

Pence, walking into a GOP lunch at the Capitol, had only kind words for Sessions when asked by reporters whether he had confidence in the attorney general.

“I hold Jeff Sessions in the highest regard,” Pence said. “I appreciate his service to the nation.”

As recently as this week, Trump was teeing off on his attorney general.

Trump criticized Sessions on Monday in a pair of tweets that seemed to blame the attorney general for the timing of federal charges last month against Republican Reps. Chris Collins and Duncan Hunter, who were both early supporters of Trump for president.
