The former vice president was subpoenaed by the special counsel investigating Trump’s actions on January 6.
Former Vice President Mike Pence has been subpoenaed by the special counsel that’s overseeing two criminal probes of former President Donald Trump.
Federal prosecutor Jack Smith is leading the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation into Trump’s efforts to remain in office after losing his reelection bid in 2020, as well as the criminal probe of classified documents found in Trump’s Florida Mar-a-Lago home in August.
Pence is facing the subpoena after months of negotiations between his legal team and federal prosecutors, reported Reuters, who cited ABC News and other media outlets who first reported on Pence’s subpoena.
The DOJ also subpoenaed Robert O’Brien, national security adviser under the Trump administration, who’s been asserting executive privilege to avoid participating in prosecutors’ investigations of his former boss, reported Reuters.
While the nature of Pence’s subpoena was not immediately known, the DOJ is likely seeking his testimony regarding the January 6 attack on the U.
