Mike Pence subpoenaed in Trump special counsel investigations

Former US vice-president Mike Pence and the former national security adviser Robert O’Brien have been subpoenaed by the special counsel leading investigations into classified documents found at former president Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence and efforts to overturn the 2020 election result, according to media reports on Thursday.

Pence was issued a subpoena by special counsel Jack Smith, though the nature of the request was not immediately known, ABC News reported, citing sources. The action follows months of negotiations involving federal prosecutors and Pence’s lawyers.

The first investigation involves Trump’s handling of highly sensitive classified documents he retained at his Florida resort after leaving the White House in January 2021.

The second investigation is looking at efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election’s results, including a plot to submit phony slates of electors to block Congress from certifying Democrat Joe Biden’s victory.

Grand juries in Washington have been hearing testimony in recent months for both investigations from many former top Trump administration officials.

The extraordinary scenario of a former vice-president potentially testifying against his former boss in a criminal investigation comes as Mr Pence considers launching a 2024 Republican presidential bid against Mr Trump.

The two have been estranged since a mob of Mr Trump's supporters stormed the US Capitol building on January 6, 2021, in an attempt to stop Democrat Joe Biden's victory.

The subpoena is an aggressive step from a prosecutor who for years led the US Justice Department's public corruption section and who oversaw indictments against major political figures.

Well they got their man elected in 2016 if that is what you mean.

There was no conspiracy provable but gee you have to wonder what they were talking about in those 130 meetings between Russia and the Trump team. Maybe they were swapping recipes?

Yep. He's piss weak alright. But it might just work for him. The GOP could decide to give him the pity vote. After all, most of them hate Trump.
