Newsman: former Vice President Mike Pence has received a subpoena from special counsel Jack Smith, who is investigating efforts by Donald Trump and his allies to subvert the 2020 election.
people familiar with the matter confirmed ABC News that the subpoena came in the investigation of efforts by Donald Trump and his allies to subvert the 2020 election.
The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the action, which involves a grand jury whose proceedings are secret according to the ABC news report.
One advantage for Smith in pursuing Pence’s testimony is that Pence has sought to publicly describe his private interactions with Trump during the chaotic weeks before Jan. 6. Pence wrote about it in his recently released book, indicating he had directly told Trump that even his own lawyers didn’t think courts would support his plan to have Pence single-handedly overturn the results.
