Mike Pence’s abrupt New Hampshire cancellation explained

The mystery surrounding Vice President Mike Pence’s abrupt cancellation of a New Hampshire trip in early July has finally been solved, according to a report from Politico.

Pence was suddenly summoned back to the White House when he was informed not that there was a problem in Washington, D.C., but in New Hampshire. Former NFL player Jeff Hatch, with whom Pence was likely to meet while attending a scheduled event at the Granite Recovery Center to discuss the national opioid crisis, was under federal investigation for transporting over $100,000 worth of fentanyl from Massachusetts to New Hampshire.
