e into the events leading up to the Jan. 6 capitol riot, according to a report.

At least one investigator, Thomas Windom, has reached out to Pence’s team in recent weeks seeking to question Pence regarding former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election,The former vice president is reportedly amenable to considering the DOJ’s request and was contacted prior toas special counsel in charge of the department’s two separate investigations into Trump.

The former commander-in-chief is being probed by the DOJ for his handling of sensitive White House documents after his presidency and for the Jan. 6 insurrection. The DOJ’s investigation into Jan. 6 is also separate from the House Jan. 6 committee’s probe into the aftermath of the 2020 election. Pence, according to the report, views the Justice Department inquiry differently from the House one because it is a criminal investigation.on the prospect of appearing before the House panel due to what he called the “partisan nature” of the committee.

Trump could slow the process of getting Pence to sit down with federal investigators by invoking executive privilege to stop or limit his testimony. The former president asserted executive privilege earlier this year in a failed effort to try and stop two former Pence aides, Marc Short and Greg Jacob, from testifying in grand jury interviews related to the investigation.

Justice Department asks Mike Pence to sit for questioning in Jan. 6 probeMike Pence has been contacted by the Justice Department, which is seeking to question him in connection with DOJ’s probe into former President Donald Trump. Your focusing the die hard Trump supporters against you. nobody's going to believe any evidence the FBI and the Democrats put against Trump they've had too much time and they've been proved to fake it before! Pence maybe running against Trump in the primary so that hurts his cred In a way I am happy for him. It does liberate his conscience towards his innocence. But the association with Trump is not the easy one. Look I think Pence should be a good guy known.....He has tried his best. Always standing by a jerk does not make you one. I believe in Pence 2 years…2 frickin years and not 1 shred of evidence against Trump. Just another Democrat hoax
