Vice President Mike Pence responded on Tuesday to tweets from WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, denying what he called "absurd" allegations that intelligence officials are plotting a takeover of the presidency.
"Clinton stated privately this month that she is quietly pushing for a Pence takeover,"
Assange tweeted Tuesday. "She stated that Pence is predictable hence defeatable."
Assange continued: "Two [intelligence] officials close to Pence stated privately this month that they are planning on a Pence takeover. Did not state if Pence agrees."
