A judge in March rejected Trump’s claim that Pence was protected by executive privilege.
Former President Donald Trump seems awfully concerned about his former second-in-command testifying before a federal grand jury investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
According to, Trump will appeal a federal court decision requiring Pence to testify, after a judge in March rejected Trump’s claim that the ex-VP was protected by executive privilege. Pence had also sought to be excused from testifying, claiming he was protected by his role as president of the Senate. This plea, too, was largely rejected, though the ruling did acknowledge some limits on what prosecutors could ask Pence.
