Former Vice President Mike Pence has been subpoenaed by Jack Smith, the Dept. of Justice’s Special Counsel investigating ex-president Donald Trump over his unlawful retention and refusal to return hundreds of classified documents, and his efforts to overturn a free and fair election.
The subpoena for Pence “follows months of negotiations between prosecutors and Pence’s legal team,” ABC News states in its exclusive breaking news report.
It’s unclear why the subpoena was issued if the Pence team has been negotiating for months. ABC News notes it was “not immediately clear what information the subpoena from special counsel Jack Smith is seeking.”
