Mike Pence giving evidence on Trump would be a sensation but it is still early days

However, the department of justice’s interactions with Pence appear to be at an early stage and it is likely to take some time for all this to play out.

The former vice-president is considering a bid for the White House in 2024 and undoubtedly his advisers will be calculating how providing such testimony would feature in a contest to secure the Republican Party nomination for the presidency, in which Trump will also be a candidate. The former president has sought to prevent others who worked in the White House from testifying to the Department of Justice, arguing that conversations that took place there were covered by executive privilege.Pence has refused to give evidence to the separate investigation into the January 6th attack being carried out by a committee of the US House of Representatives, citing the doctrine of the separation of powers between the different branches of the government.
