US judge orders former Vice President Pence to testify in inquiry

A United States federal judge has ordered former Vice President Mike Pence to testify before a grand jury, as the Justice Department continues its investigation into whether former President Donald Trump attempted to overturn his loss in the 2020 Presidential election.

The ruling from US District Judge James Boasberg remains sealed.

But major US media outlets, including Reuters and the Associated Press, have reported that the decision will compel Pence to appear in court and speak about conversations he may have had with Trump in the lead-up to the 2021 attack on the US Capitol.
