Former Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday that he plans to fight a subpoena from the special counsel investigating Donald Trump‘s actions surrounding the Jan. 6 rot, calling the demand for his cooperation “unprecedented and unconstitutional.”
“No vice president has ever been subject to a subpoena to testify about the president with whom they served,” Pence told reporters after he spoke at a parents’ rights event in Minnesota.
Pence, who has written a book detailing some of his interactions with the former president leading up to the attack on the U.S. Capitol and given numerous interviews with reporters about the topic, said he was fighting the subpoena to testify before a grand jury on principle.
