Pence says he'd "consider" testifying before House Jan. 6 committee if asked

Washington — Former Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday he would "consider" appearing before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol if the panel summoned him to answer questions.

"If there was an invitation to participate, I would consider it," Pence said during the Politics & Eggs event held at St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire.

But the former vice president noted if he were invited to testify before House investigators, he would have to "reflect on the unique role that I was serving in as vice president."
