Mike Pence Subpoena: Will Donald Trump Special Counsel Cross the Rubicon?

The New York Times reports that former vice president Mike Pence has been subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury probing former president Donald Trump’s role in the events that led to the January 6 Capitol riot. The subpoena was issued by Jack Smith, the special counsel appointed in November by Biden administration attorney general Merrick Garland.

The Times report is based on information from a “person familiar with the matter” who goes unnamed. Nevertheless, any competent prosecutor would want to lock in testimony under oath from Pence.
