Former Vice President Mike Pence appeared for more than seven hours before the grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, according to sources with knowledge of his testimony.
Federal prosecutors were interested in questioning the former vice president about the events surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Pence testified before the grand jury at the D.C. District Court. Grand jury testimony and related proceedings happen in secret and are shielded from the public by federal law.
On Wednesday night, a three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected former President Donald Trump's argument that Pence should be shielded from testifying about his interactions with Trump in the last weeks of his administration.
