"You'll have to ask him about that," Pence said on "Fox News Sunday."

"I know it's been a subject of some commentary of this last week, but at the end of the day, I know that, whether it's our security at home or abroad, that the president-elect is going to put the safety and security of the American people first."

Pence said the president-elect has had conversations with Comey.

When pressed, Pence reiterated that it would be a good question for Trump after his inauguration later this week.

Trump over the past week has criticized the intelligence community.

Last week, he tweeted that the intelligence community "probably" leaked recent reports against him "even knowing there is no proof."
