A potentially decisive testimony. Former Vice President Mike Pence is not expected to appeal a judge’s ruling forcing him to testify before a grand jury about Donald Trump’s efforts to stay in power between the presidential race and the storming of the Capitol, one of his spokesmen said, several US media reported on Thursday, including the Washington Post.
Therefore, the former vice president should probably testify under oath about Donald Trump’s actions in January 2021. According to the American newspaper, Mike Pence could testify at the end of April, even if the date has not yet been announced.
Especially since the defense of Donald Trump could file appeals, specifies the Washington Post.
What happened on January 6, 2021?
Last week, a judge ordered former Vice President Mike Pence to testify about conversations he had with Donald Trump before he took over the Capitol. That magistrate, James Boasberg, ruled that Mike Pence should provide answers to a federal grand jury on any questions related to the investigation of possible crimes committed by the former president.
Because investigators are examining Trump’s role in the violence that erupted on January 6, 2021, as part of what would have been a broader attempt to stay in power after losing the presidential election to Joe Biden.
The Republican billionaire, who was officially indicted this week in a separate case, is seeking re-election in 2024 and Mike Pence could be among those challenging him for the Republican nomination.
In early March, Mike Pence claimed that the story will hold former US President Donald Trump accountable for his role in the 2021 storming of the Capitol.
Among the thousands of protesters who stormed the Capitol in Washington on January 6, 2021, some had called for Mike Pence to be hanged, forcing Donald Trump’s vice president to run to safety.
