Appeals Court Reject’s Trumps Attempt to Block Pence Testimony

The DC Court of Appeals unanimously rejected the former President's motion.

Donald Trump’s attempt to prevent Mike Pence from testifying about their direct conversations has failed. The DC Court of Appeals unanimously rejected the former President’s motion. This means former Vice President Pence will likely be called soon to testify before a federal grand jury. The federal criminal investigation is examining former President Trump and others’ actions after the 2020 election. Investigators are interested in attempts to pressure Pence to block congress from certifying President Biden’s victory. They also want to hear about Trump’s conversations with Pence in the days surrounding the capitol insurrection. Pence has already said he would comply with the subpoena.
