Mike Pence Spells Out How He Will Fight 'Unprecedented' Jan. 6 Subpoena

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday explained how he intends to push back against a grand jury subpoena requesting his testimony in the Justice Department’s investigation into former President Donald Trump’s role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. Following a speech in Minneapolis, Pence told reporters that while Trump acted recklessly on Jan. 6, “it’s also wrong to establish a precedent where a legislative official can be called into court by the executive branch.” “The fact that no vice president has ever been subject to a subpoena to testify about the president with whom they served makes this unprecedented, but that goes to executive privilege,” Pence said, according to CBS. The former vice president clarified he will be fighting this on the grounds of separation of powers, unlike Trump’s lawyers who will also fight Pence’s subpoena, asserting executive privilege. Former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows was also reportedly subpoenaed by Smith for testimony and documents regarding Trump’s Jan. 6 role.
