Former Vice President Mike Pence has decided not to appeal a district court ruling, and will comply with the grand jury subpoena requesting documents and testimony related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election. His spokesperson confirmed that he will comply as required by law.
The decision could provide special counsel Jack Smith with access to critical insight into former President Donald Trump's thinking and efforts in his attempts at retaining power. Last week, Judge James Boasberg dismissed efforts mounted by Pence and Trump meant to limit his testimony or avoid handing over relevant documents.
Pence had previously published a memoir along with an op-ed piece for The Wall Street Journal detailing several significant interactions between himself and Trump leading up until January 6th. Federal prosecutors investigating former President Donald Trump's actions leading up towards this date can now gain access key evidence after Pence chose not pursue legal action against testifying before the grand jury.
Originally stating that he would take his battle regarding quashing of the grand jury subpoena all the way up United States Supreme Court if necessary, just last week Pence voiced being "pleased" that Judge Boasberg agreed on what was considered a crucial issue: pertaining specifically towards role on January 6th as presiding officer of Senate itself during Capitol assault committed by mob loyalists supporting then-President Trump.
It remains unclear whether Donald J.Trump plans on appealing Judge Boasburg's ruling in order prevent Mike from testifying altogether; however most important aspects surrounding both men start around December 5 when first brought idea challenging Electoral College results directly through conversations held together which later included inner circle members planning usage fraudulent slates electors well prior meeting where Democrat Joe Biden would eventually be ratified victor presidential race despite these actions taking place behind scenes current frontrunner promising pardons should regain office once more come next election cycle
