I’m guessing there was a credible threat to the VP...

That would be my guess.
I suspect that the president found that the Epstein thing was about to hit the fan.
Stop and think what this is going to mean politically. This will bring on the destruction of the dims, Mueller, the FBI,m the DOJ.
A political upheaval.
And it hits the fan immediately ahead of Muller’s testimony before congress.
There will be questions Mueller did not anticipate when he agreed to appear.
If anything were to happen to Pence, the House could start impeachment proceedings against Trump..who would be next in line of succession to the Oval Office...San Fran Nan.
Sounds like a good script.
