Donald Trump actually said...

"Pence did have the right to change the outcome. Unfortunately, he didn’t exercise that power. He could have overturned the election."

"The Vice President should have overturned the election."

"If I run and if I win, we will treat those people, from January 6, fairly. We will treat them fairly. And if it requires pardons, we will give them, pardons, because they're being treated so unfairly."

"he wanted former Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the 2020 election results on January 6 last year and that he would seek pardons for the attackers if reelected."
