Pence will argue that his role as president of the Senate shields him from certain Justice Department demands, rather than cite executive privilege

Republican former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence is preparing to resist a grand jury subpoena for testimony about efforts to overturn then-President Donald Trump’s 2020 reelection loss, a source familiar with his plans said on Tuesday.

A representative for Pence did not respond to a request for comment on his decision to challenge Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request, first reported by Politico. Smith’s office declined to comment. Trump has repeatedly made false claims that he lost the 2020 election to Biden through massive voter fraud. He has also harshly criticized Pence for not blocking Congress’ certification on Jan. 6 as Trump supporters stormed the Capitol, some chanting: “Hang Mike Pence.”
