The Department of Justice wants to question Mike Pence
“The Department of Justice is seeking to interview former Vice President Mike Pence as a witness in its criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump’s efforts to stay in power after losing the 2020 election” , said the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Pence, according to people familiar with his thinking, is willing to consider the request, acknowledging that the Justice Department’s criminal investigation is different from the House committee’s investigation on January 6, which he adamantly rejected overtures.
“Complicating the situation is whether Mr. Trump would try to invoke executive privilege to shut him down or limit his testimony, a step he has taken with limited success thus far with other former officials.”
