Pence Says He'd Consider Testifying to Jan. 6 Panel, Blasts Attacks on FBI in Trump Search
(Bloomberg) -- Former Vice President Mike Pence said he would give “due consideration” to testifying before the House Committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the US Capitol and criticized Republicans for attacking the FBI over the search of Donald Trump’s Florida home.
Speaking at a “Politics & Eggs” forum in New Hampshire on Wednesday, Pence was asked whether he would agree to appear before the committee and said, “If there was an invitation to participate, I would consider it.” But he also said it would be unusual for a former vice president to be called before Congress.
“Under the Constitution, we have three co-equal branches of government, and any invitation to be directed to me, I would have to reflect on the unique role that I was serving in as vice president,” Pence said.
Footage released during the public hearings on Jan. 6 included US Secret Service personnel rushing Pence to safety during the riot. He was at the Capitol to preside over the Electoral College vote count as Trump supporters chanted, “Hang Mike Pence” for his refusal to accede to Trump’s demands to overturn the 2020 election.
