Judge rules Pence must testify about pre-J6 talks with Trump
By Katelyn Polantz, Paula Reid and Zachary Cohen | CNN
But the judge said — in a ruling that remains under seal — that Pence can still decline to answer questions related to his actions on January 6 itself, when he was serving as president of the Senate for the certification of the 2020 presidential election, according to one of the sources. It’s another win for special counsel Jack Smith, who is investigating the Trump-aligned effort to subvert the 2020 election. Smith subpoenaed Pence for testimony and documents earlier this year.
“I am going to fight the Biden DOJ subpoena for me to appear before the grand jury because I believe it’s unconstitutional and unprecedented,” Pence said at an event in February. He has suggested that — because he was also serving as president of the Senate during the January 6 certification vote — the constitutional clause covered the conduct that investigators are looking at.
