Former Vice President Mike Pence was swinging around in Iowa on Wednesday, trying to rope in voters’ interest in a presidential bid when a journalist asked for the latest noose on a DC federal judge’s Tuesday ruling ordering Pence to testify to the grand jury investigating disgraced former President Trump’s post-2020 election coup attempt, the Huffington Post reports.
“I have nothing to hide. I have written and spoken extensively about that day. At the end of the day, we’ll obey the law,” Pence said, further fueling speculation he won’t stick his neck out for Trump and appeal the ruling as DC Circuit Judge James Boasberg let Pence hang on to his Speech and Debate privilege claim on certain questions pertaining to the electoral count session. “Now, for the first time ever, a federal court has recognized that these protections extend to a vice president,” said Pence about the topics that probably are of little to no interest to Jack Smith.
