Mike Pence to Testify Before Jan. 6 Grand Jury Following Court Ruling
TL;DR Summary
Former Vice President Mike Pence will comply with a grand jury subpoena requesting documents and testimony related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election, and will not appeal the district court ruling rejecting former President Donald Trump's assertion of executive privilege to prevent Pence from testifying. The subpoena was issued in February by special counsel Jack Smith, who is investigating election interference. Pence's legal team had argued that he should be exempt from providing records or answering certain questions that align with his duties as president of the Senate overseeing the formal certification of the election on Jan. 6, 2021.
