Judge orders Pence to testify about Trump conversations in Jan. 6 probe.

A federal judge in Washington has ruled that former Vice President Mike Pence must testify before a grand jury about former President Donald Trump's effort to reverse the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. The judge rejected Trump's claims of executive privilege and found they did not apply to any potential testimony by Pence. However, the speech or debate clause in part protects Pence from providing testimony, specifically on congressional matters related to the events of Jan. 6, 2021, though he must testify about any illegal acts by Trump.
