Pence ready to testify against Trump if needed: ‘We’ll speak the truth’
Former Vice President Mike Pence: Willing to Testify Against Trump if Required by Law
Former Vice President Mike Pence has made it clear that he has no immediate plans to testify against his former boss, but he is willing to do so if the law demands it. Since leaving office, Pence has distanced himself from former President Donald Trump, primarily due to Trump’s actions during the January 6th riot. Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment against Trump highlighted the significance of notes Pence took during his meetings with the former president as crucial evidence. During an interview on CBS’s Face the Nation, Pence revealed his commitment to cooperate with the law in holding Trump accountable, if necessary.

Pence stated, “I have no plans to testify, but people can be confident that we will obey the law. If the law requires it, we will respond and simply tell the truth.” He also addressed the importance of his note-taking, which played a pivotal role in Trump’s indictment.
The former vice president explained that he did not regularly take notes during meetings throughout his four-year tenure, but on significant occasions, he would jot down a few points on his calendar to preserve and recall important details. This practice proved essential in the current case.
Upon the release of the indictment, Pence issued a statement defending his own actions while condemning his former boss. He emphasized, “I will provide further comments on the government’s case once I have thoroughly reviewed the indictment. While the former president is entitled to the presumption of innocence, this indictment will inevitably lead to more discussions about January 6th and create additional distractions.”
Pence reiterated his unwavering commitment to upholding the Constitution, stating, “On January 6th, former President Trump forced me to choose between him and the Constitution. I made the choice to stand by the Constitution, and I will continue to do so.”
