Mike Pence to fight DOJ special counsel subpoena on Trump's efforts to overturn 2020 election results
Fox News
Former Vice President Mike Pence is expected to challenge DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith’s subpoena for testimony on Trump’s efforts to overturn Biden’s 2020 win.
Politico first reported on Pence’s decision to challenge the DOJ subpoena earlier Tuesday, citing two people familiar with the former vice president’s thought process.

The former vice president’s allies told Politico he's protected by a constitutional provision called the "speech and debate clause," which generally shields members of Congress from having to fear that anything they say during legislative activities will implicate them in a lawsuit. According to Politico, Pence’s allies said federal prosecutors are legally blocked from compelling testimony from the former vice president related to key elements of Smith’s probe under the Constitution’s separation of powers.
