<p>Former Vice President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-pence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Pence</a> 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.</p>
<p>&#8220;Vice President Pence will not appeal the Judge&#8217;s ruling and will comply with the subpoena as required by law,&#8221; spokesman Devin O&#8217;Malley said Wednesday in a statement to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/05/pence-testimony-jan-6-appeal-00090634" target="_blank" rel="noopener">POLITICO</a>.</p>
<p>Last month, Chief U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg ruled the former vice president must comply with a grand jury subpoena issued by the investigation&#8217;s special counsel Jack Smith.</p>
<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 &#8220;a hybrid creature of the executive and legislative branch,&#8221; POLITICO reported.</p>
<p>According to the &#8220;speech or debate&#8221; clause, Pence, under his role to certify the electoral votes of a presidential election, is given immunity from criminal prosecutions or civil suits that stem from acts taken within the legislative sphere and official responsibilities.</p>
<p>An attorney for Pence reportedly said the clause serves as a shield against having to testify about anything related to his role on January 6. However, U.S. News <a href="https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2023-04-05/pence-will-not-appeal-ruling-ordering-his-testimony-in-trump-probe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> the judge&#8217;s ruling would still require Pence to answer questions about any illegal acts by Trump.</p>
<p>O&#8217;Malley asserted in the statement the principle prevailed in the court&#8217;s decision.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the Court&#8217;s decision, that principle prevailed,&#8221; O&#8217;Malley said. &#8220;The Court&#8217;s landmark and historic ruling affirmed for the first time in history that the Speech or Debate Clause extends to the Vice President of the United States.&#8221;</p>

<p>Trump has not said if he will appeal the ruling himself, although the former president&#8217;s team had argued his executive privilege blocks some presidential conversations from disclosure to the public.</p>
