A federal judge on Tuesday ordered former Vice President Mike Pence to testify before a grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
Special counsel Jack Smith, who is heading the Justice Department investigation into Trump's efforts to subvert the election, issued a subpoena for Pence to testify in February. Pence contested the subpoena under the Constitution's Speech or Debate Clause, which protects lawmakers from particular law enforcement actions related to their legislative roles.
