Former Vice President Mike Pence said this week that he's not going to testify before the House Jan. 6 committee, claiming that doing so would violate the separation of powers between Congress and the White House.
Pence has also recently delivered critiques of the Jan. 6 panel. Speaking with CBS, he accused the committee of being partisan.
"The Select Committee has proceeded respectfully and responsibly in our engagement with Vice President Pence, so it is disappointing that he is misrepresenting the nature of our investigation while giving interviews to promote his new book," the two lawmakers said.
