Former vice president Mike Pence will not appeal a court ruling compelling him to heed a subpoena to testify before the federal grand jury investigating former president Donald Trump’s actions leading up to the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
A spokesperson for Mr Pence, Devin O’Malley, said in a statement that the ex-vice president wouldn’t seek to overturn a ruling from US District Judge James Boasberg, the chief judge of the US District Court for the District of Columbia, who earlier this week held that Mr Pence must give evidence about his interactions with Mr Trump because Judge Boasberg also found that Mr Pence could not be forced to testify about actions he took in his ceremonial role of President of the Senate when he presided over Congress’ certification of the 2020 presidential election.
