Trump Appeals Order for Pence to Testify in Jan. 6 Probe

Former President Donald Trump has appealed a judge's order requiring his former vice president, Mike Pence, to testify in the special counsel probe into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The case remains under seal, but a new sealed case appeared on the federal appeals court docket in Washington, D.C., that referred to a grand jury matter before U.S. District Chief Judge James Boasberg. Special Counsel Jack Smith is presenting evidence to grand juries in two separate investigations, one looking into attempts to interfere with the peaceful transfer of power following Trump's November 2020 loss to Biden, and the second looking at Trump's retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida after leaving office in January 2021, and whether he tried to obstruct the Justice Department's investigation.
