TL;DR Summary

Former Vice President Mike Pence said he has "nothing to hide" from a grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. A federal judge ruled that Pence must testify and provide answers to special counsel Jack Smith on any questions that implicate any illegal acts on Trump's part. Pence's team had argued that such communications could run afoul of the Constitution's speech and debate clause that shields members of Congress from legal proceedings specifically related to their work. Pence is considering whether to appeal the order.
