AFPDonald Trump and Mike Pence in May 2020
NOS Nieuws•vandaag, 20:18
Former Vice President Mike Pence is to testify in an investigation into Donald Trump’s attempts to undermine the 2020 US presidential election. There has been speculation about this for some time, but according to American media, the decision of the Commission of Inquiry has now been taken. The decision has not been made public.
Pence must provide an investigative jury with insight into the conversations he had with President Trump prior to the storming of the Capitol in Washington on January 6, 2021. Trump then called on his supporters to oppose the result of the election, which he had lost to Democrat Joe Biden two months earlier. Republican Trump insisted that fraud had taken place, although there was no evidence to support it.
Pence would not have to answer to the jury for what he himself did on January 6 when a mob of angry Trump supporters broke into the Capitol and wreaked havoc.
Six weeks ago, various American media also reported that Pence would be subpoenaed. There was no confirmation of this from the American judiciary at the time.
