Justice Department is seeking Former Vice President Mike Pence's testimony in its criminal investigation into former U.S. President Trump's attempt to stay in power after losing the 2020 election.
Pence's team has indicated that he is open to discussing a possible agreement with the DOJ to provide at least some testimony.
Pence's approach is different because a request from the DOJ (Department of Justice) differs from the Jan.6 committee, as per a CNN analyst, Paula Reid. Pence is unique in his ability to provide insight and evidence about what was happening with the former President and his allies around the election and around the insurrection.
Recently, former Vice President Mike Pence has become very public regarding what he saw, what he observed and how he felt about it as he promotes his new MEMOIR.
Over the past couple of weeks, Pence has talked about how he believed a tweet from the former President attacking him was "reckless and very critical" of how the former President handled the insurrection.
Pence fully expected when he was that public with all those comments, the prosecutors would have some follow-up questions for him. He rebuffed a request from the Jan 6. committee, but some of his aides have spoken with lawmakers and the justice department if he wants to cooperate.
Former NYC prosecutor says DOJ is part of the executive branch, and Pence openly accused Trump of being "reckless"; the DOJ requires Pence's testimony more than ever to indict the former President Trump.
