Former Vice President Mike Pence is reportedly planning to resist a subpoena to testify about former President Donald Trump’s effort to overturn his loss in the 2020 election.
In a move that will likely at least delay Pence's testimony, the former vice president plans to argue that his largely ceremonial role as president of the Senate shields him from being ordered to testify, Politico first reported.
Pence would cite the constitutional “speech or debate clause” that generally prevents lawmakers from legal scrutiny for their legislative work.
