AP Sources: Judge rules Pence must testify before grand jury

Automatic TRANSCRIPT

A federal judge reportedly has ruled former vice president Mike Pence must testify in a criminal investigation involving former president Trump. Two people familiar with the ruling say former vice president Mike Pence will have to testify before a grand jury. Pence was subpoenaed by a special counsel, investigating efforts by former president Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election results. But sources say Pence will not have to testify about his actions on January 6th. That's the day when a violent mob of Trump supporters stormed the capitol building as Pence was presiding over a joint session of Congress to certify the vote. Pence argued that because he was serving in his capacity as president of the Senate that day, he was protected from being forced to testify. His attorneys are deciding whether to appeal.
