Donald Trump is seeking to block Mike Pence from speaking to a grand jury for the DOJ's probe into efforts to overturn the 2020 Presidential Election.
Pence ultimately rebuffed those calls for him to disturb Congress' plans -- a decision he stands by now. But he also has announced his plans to fight the subpoena in Smith's probe.
The former vice president asserts that because he was also acting as president of the Senate that day, he is shielded by the Constitution's Speech or Debate Clause, which protects lawmakers from certain law enforcement actions targeted at their legislative conduct.
