Remember all the hush hush whispers when Mike Pence’s flight to New Hampshire was abruptly turned around and he stayed in Washington DC instead?

And Donald Trump hinted that we would know what happened “in two weeks?”

Well, we finally have the answer. It was all about a drug dealer.

According to Politico, the problem was a federal investigation involving individuals Pence would be meeting. If Pence stepped off the vice presidential aircraft, one of the people he would have seen on the ground was under investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration for moving more than $100,000 of fentanyl from Massachusetts to New Hampshire.

Jeff Hatch, who agreed in federal court Friday to plead guilty and will face up to four years in prison, works for an opioid addiction treatment center in southern New Hampshire that Pence was set to visit. A former New York Giants player, he has spoken publicly for years about his own challenge with drug and alcohol addiction, which ended his football career.

VP Mike Pence abruptly cancelled a trip to New Hampshire because it would have included a meeting with a man who was ‘caught in 2017 with 1,500 grams of fentanyl.’ https://t.co/RlZ9OatEfd

He has been on stage with Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) and is known throughout the state for warning students about the dangers of using drugs. “He has been beaten down in the past, but now stands tall in front of audiences to personally share his compelling story,” says a listing offering him to speak to groups.

The vice president’s office declined to comment, and Pence has declined to discuss the incident.

The early July event had been billed by his office as “a roundtable discussion with former patients and alumni at the Granite Recovery Center headquarters” followed by remarks from Pence “on the opioid crisis and illegal drug flow in New Hampshire.” The vice president’s aides have said they would reschedule his trip to New Hampshire.
