Schiff: Pence subpoena for Jan. 6 testimony a possibility
Source: The Hill
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said on Sunday that it is a possibility that the select House panel investigating Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol will subpoena former Vice President Mike Pence to testify.
Were not excluding anyone or anything at this point, Schiff, a member of the House panel, said on CNNs State of the Union.
Were not taking anything off the table in terms of witnesses who have not yet testified. We would still, I think, like to have several high-profile people come before our committee, he added. But, at the moment, I cant disclose what private conversations may or may not be going on with respect to certain individuals. But there are still key people we have not interviewed that we would like to.
The California Democrats remarks came after the Jan. 6 panel last week detailed the pressure campaign on Pence by former President Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Pence defended TFG days after Jan 6. He is still as weak as he ever been when it comes to TFG. He still want the MAGA crowd with him.

(4,845 posts)He just differ from TFG on the election result. He isn't going to be like Adam Kinzinger or Liz Chaney and go against TFG as we hoped or would expect. Pence was as weak as he was on the whole Jan. 6 thing days after it happened. He still defends TFG as much as he can. Pence knows he still need to be in good standing with the MAGATs because he still wants a part in the republican party.
