Mike Pence Subpoenaed By Special Counsel Jack Smith

Judge Rules That Pence Must Testify Before Grand Jury.


WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that former Vice President Mike Pence will have to testify before a grand jury in the Justice Department’s investigation into efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

That’s according to two people familiar with the decision, who spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the ruling remains under seal.

The ruling says Pence will not have to answer questions about his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol building as Republican Pence was presiding over a joint session of Congress to certify Democrat Joe Biden’s victory, according to one of the people. However, he would have to testify about any potential illegal acts committed by the former president, the person said.

Pence and his attorneys had cited constitutional grounds in challenging a grand jury subpoena issued weeks ago. They argued that, because he was serving in his capacity as president of the Senate that day, he was protected from being forced to testify under the Constitution’s “speech or debate” clause, which is intended to protect members of Congress from questioning about official legislative acts.

Suck on that Chuckle Nut Pence.
 
False. Why do you lie? The fact is, as I correctly noted in my comment, that the judge appears to have acknowledged his status as the President the Senate. And he won’t have to answer any questions about that.

However, communications between the President and his Vice President aren’t covered by the legislative privilege.

Cowardly and ignorant moron that you are, you cackled that his claim was absurd. You were wrong.

Learn to accept your fail. You’ve got to be getting used to it after all this time. 👍
Nobody has questions about that. He's already told us all about his conversations with Trump on January 6th, during his book tour. Trump called him a wimp, said maybe I made a mistake picking you 5 years ago, etc. None of that is criminal. No one cares. It's a distraction. Smith wants to know about their conversations leading up to the 6th.
 
From your own fucking link, Shitty Lawyer:



And dumbfuck Delldude just hands you a love emoji, never reading the link, to busy wiping Cheetos dust off of his dirty t-shirt in his 18 year old broken recliner, frantically switching between OANN and Newsmax looking for old, doughy, pale white Republicans to tell him what to think.
How'd that work out, Clown Man?

You’re unusually stupid on this topic even for you.

The simple fact remains. You analyzed the legal point of team Pence re his invocation of “legislative privilege” very incorrectly. And what really bugs you is how right I was about it.

It’s ok. I don’t think any less of you over that mistake you made. I couldn’t possibly.
 
How'd that work out, Clown Man?
It worked out to be a major win for the Special Counsel and a major loss for Mike Pence, who now has to testify about all his conversations leading up to January 6th.

That's how it's worked out.

Left wing unconfirmed source so it's probably legit without question....🤡

BackAgain is right.

That’s according to two people familiar with the ruling, who spoke on condition of anonymity because it remains under seal.

The people said, however, that Pence would not have to answer questions about his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, when a mob of Trump’s supporters violently stormed the building as Pence was presiding over a joint session of Congress to certify the vote.

Pence’s team is evaluating whether it will appeal.

Pence Won't Appeal Judge's Order To Testify In Jan. 6th Investigation.


A federal judge last week ruled that Pence had to provide testimony about former President Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, though the judge said Pence would not be compelled to testify about his role in Congress.

Pence’s team had argued he was protected under the Constitution’s Speech and Debate Clause in his role as president of the Senate during the events of Jan. 6.

“The Court’s landmark and historic ruling affirmed for the first time in history that the Speech or Debate Clause extends to the Vice President of the United States,” Pence aide Devin O’Malley said in a statement. “Having vindicated that principle of the Constitution, Vice President Pence will not appeal the Judge’s ruling and will comply with the subpoena as required by law.”

Mike Pence Testifies Before Election Probe Grand Jury: Associated Press Source.


WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Vice President Mike Pence testified Thursday before a federal grand jury investigating efforts by then-President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The person requested anonymity to discuss the private appearance before the grand jury.


Pence's appearance before a grand jury in Washington scrutinizing the president he once loyally served is a milestone in the Justice Department's investigation and likely gives prosecutors a key first-person account about certain conversations and events in the weeks preceding the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. It also carries significant political implications, coming as Pence hints at entering the 2024 presidential race and a potential run against Trump, the Republican front-runner.

The testimony came hours after a federal appeals court in a sealed order rejected a bid by Trump's lawyers to block Pence's appearance.
