Trump Appeals Order for Pence to Testify in Jan. 6 Probe
TL;DR Summary
Lawyers for former President Donald Trump have appealed to a federal appeals court to narrow the scope of the testimony that former Vice President Mike Pence has to give a grand jury investigating Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The request is the latest attempt by Trump's legal team to keep witnesses close to him from divulging information to prosecutors in the office of the special counsel, Jack Smith. Pence has always been a potentially important witness in the election inquiry into Trump because of the conversations he took part in at the White House in the weeks preceding the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
