Former Vice President Mike Pence will not appeal a federal court ruling ordering him to testify in a special counsel probe pertaining to the 2020 election.
In a statement shared with Breitbart News, Devin O’Malley, spokesman for Mike Pence, said that while the former vice president stands by his original claim that the “unprecedented subpoena was unconstitutional,” he will not appeal the federal court ruling.
“Vice President Mike Pence swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution, and his claim that the Biden Special Counsel’s unprecedented subpoena was unconstitutional under the Speech or Debate Clause was an important one made to preserve the Separation of Powers outlined by our Founders. In the Courts decision, that principle prevailed,” said O’Malley.
“The Court’s landmark and historic ruling affirmed for the first time in history that the Speech or Debate Clause extends to the Vice President of the United States.
