Special counsel Jack Smith issued a subpoena to former Vice President Mike Pence after months of negotiations in a sign that the investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol is nearing its "climax," according to legal experts.
Smith, who is overseeing Justice Department probes into former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago documents scandal and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, requested testimony and documents from Pence related to Trump's failed effort to overturn his election, ABC News and other outlets reported on Thursday.
