<p>A federal judge ordered this week that former Vice President Mike Pence must testify to a grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump&#8217;s efforts to stay in office after losing the 2020 presidential election.</p>
<p>The ruling comes as prosecutors have sought testimony from Pence about Trump&#8217;s demands of him to use his ceremonial role in overseeing the Electoral College vote count to stop the process.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s lawyers had sought to limit Pence&#8217;s testimony by claiming executive privilege while Pence&#8217;s lawyers sought to limit his testimony by &#8220;arguing that his role as the president of the Senate meant he was protected from legal scrutiny by the executive branch — including the Justice Department — under the Constitution’s &#8216;speech or debate&#8217; clause,&#8221; according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/28/us/politics/pence-testify-jan-6-grand-jury.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>.</p>
<p>The report noted that Pence&#8217;s aides thoroughly documented the pressure from the former president which was on top of the public pressure that he was exerting on Pence.</p>
<p>&#8220;If Vice President @Mike_Pence comes through for us, we will win the Presidency,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1346698217304584192" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> on Twitter on January 6, 2021. &#8220;Many States want to decertify the mistake they made in certifying incorrect &amp; even fraudulent numbers in a process NOT approved by their State Legislatures (which it must be). Mike can send it back!&#8221;</p>
<p>In a subsequent post, Trump <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DonaldTrump/posts/mike-pence-didnt-have-the-courage-to-do-what-should-have-been-done-to-protect-ou/10166091123235725/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>: &#8220;Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!&#8221;</p>

<p>The ruling comes after a separate judge ruled that several Trump administration officials could not invoke executive privilege to avoid testifying in the criminal probe into Trump&#8217;s actions surrounding the 2020 election.</p>
<p>The ruling this week is the latest legal setback for the former president as a federal appeals court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/appeals-court-rules-trump-lawyer-must-testify-to-federal-grand-jury-turn-over-records-due-to-crime-fraud-exception" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled</a> last week that an attorney for Trump must testify and turn over records on the former president in a separate federal criminal investigation into his handling of U.S. government records after he left office.</p>
