Former Vice President Mike Pence has been ordered by a federal judge to testify about conversations with former President Donald Trump ahead of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
In a major victory for prosecutors, Pence has been told that he must answer questions about the attempted insurrection before a grand jury investigating Trump’s effort to overturn his loss in the 2020 election.
District Court Judge James Boasberg did rule that Pence may be able to avoid answering some questions about his role as ceremonial president of the Senate during the certification of the presidential election results on Jan. 6.
