Former United States Vice President Mike Pence is planning to fight a subpoena from the special counsel overseeing investigations into attempts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 election, according to people familiar with his thinking.Pence and his lawyers intend to cite constitutional grounds as they prepare to resist Special Counsel Jack Smith‘s efforts to compel his testimony before a grand jury.They argue that because Pence was serving in his role as president of the Senate on January 6, 2021, he is protected from being forced to address his actions under the Constitution’s “speech-or-debate” clause, which shields members of Congress.
