Mike Pence told the hosts of Fox & Friends that the Donald Trump campaign is working to release "evidence" that proves allegations of sexual assault against the candidate are false.

On the Today show, Pence warned of similar "evidence," saying the campaign was just "hours" away from releasing it. "Stay tuned, there's more information coming forward," Pence said.

What evidence will prove Trump didn't sexually assault the several women who have come forward to accuse him remains to be seen. One Fox & Friends host interrupted Pence to ask if the evidence proved "that they're making it up." Another host jumps in to ask, "What kind of evidence is coming out?"
