The ruling came after Chief U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg ordered the former Vice President to comply with a grand jury subpoena issued by the investigation\u2019s special counsel Jack Smith.<\/p>\n<p>Pence initially challenged the subpoena, arguing his role as president of the Senate presented issues with his testimony due to the Constitution making his position \u201ca hybrid creature of the executive and legislative branch.\u201d However, the judge\u2019s ruling means that even though the \u201cspeech or debate\u201d clause serves as a shield for Pence against having to testify about anything related to his role on January 6, he will still be required to answer questions about any illegal acts by Trump.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Pence said the former Vice President will comply with the subpoena as required by law. The spokesperson  also mentioned that according to the court\u2019s decision, the Speech or Debate Clause extends to the Vice President of the United States.<\/p>\n<p>It is not currently known whether Trump will appeal the ruling, with his team arguing his executive privilege blocks some presidential conversations from disclosure to the public.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1680795232291000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2P5VXRE91chuqYyZnEBGLw\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Vice President Mike Pence will forego appealing a federal court order that requires him to testify before a grand jury investigating the actions of former President Donald Trump in the weeks leading up to the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. \u201cVice President Pence will not appeal the Judge\u2019s ruling and will comply<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":429,"featured_media":1910628,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[541],"tags":[7584,5262,6936,5265,4500,4450,5782,5308,4324],"class_list":["post-1910627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-daily-wire","tag-appeal","tag-grand","tag-jan","tag-jury","tag-pence","tag-requiring","tag-ruling","tag-testify","tag-wont"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1910627","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/429"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1910627"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1910627\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1910628"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1910627"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1910627"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1910627"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
