Former VP Mike Pence subpoenaed in Trump probe into 2021 US Capitol attack

[IsraelTimes] Ex-veep’s testimony sought to shed light on former president’s bid to block Congress certification of Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant. Just look at the competent way he dumped Afghanistan...
’s 2020 election victory

Former US vice president Mike Pence has been subpoenaed by the special counsel investigating Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
and his role in the January 6, 2021 assault on the Capitol, US media reported Thursday.

The Justice Department appointed Jack Smith as special counsel to oversee federal probes into Trump’s role in the riot, as well as his handling of classified documents stored at his Florida beach club.

The subpoena "follows months of negotiations between federal prosecutors and Pence’s legal team," ABC News reported.

Pence’s testimony could help shed light on Trump’s bid to block the certification by Congress of Joe Biden’s election victory.

Trump publicly pressured Pence, who presided over the session of Congress, not to certify the election results, but the vice president resisted his demands.

Pence has denounced Trump’s actions on January 6 as "reckless" but declined to answer questions from a congressional committee investigating the Capitol attack.

Trump, who has announced a new White House run in 2024, could try to block Pence’s testimony by citing executive privilege, as he has tried to do with other former officials.

Pence is believed to be considering a run for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 but has not yet announced his candidacy.

Smith will determine whether Trump should face any charges, though Attorney General Merrick Garland
...Attorney General of the U.S., who classifies indignant parents as domestic terrorists. The is the respected legal scholar Obama nominated for the Supreme Court...
will have the ultimate say on whether charges should be filed.

#2  So MSM makes a big frickin' deal about Pence being subpoenaed, just to keep reminding everybody that Orange Man Bad, while ignoring the Twitter hearings.
