WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump's attorneys are appealing an order for former Vice President Mike Pence to testify before the special counsel investigating Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, sources familiar with the matter confirm to ABC News.
Trump has previously sought to assert executive privilege in an attempt to block Pence's testimony, but late last month the chief judge for the D.C. district court, James Boasberg, rejected his team's arguments and ordered Pence to testify and provide records to special counsel Jack Smith.
Pence was subpoenaed by the special counsel in February, following months of negotiations between federal prosecutors and Pence's legal team.
