Mike Pence to Fight , Special Counsel Subpoena.<br />Former Vice President Pence was recently subpoenaed to provide documents and testify as part of a DOJ special counsel investigation into the events of Jan. 6, 2021.<br />A source has confirmed to 'The Hill' that <br />Pence plans to fight the subpoena. .<br />He intends to assert that he does not have to comply since he was the former president of the Senate and therefore a member of the legislative branch.<br />Those circumstances would invoke the Constitution's "speech and debate" clause, protecting him from the subpoena. .<br />'The Hill' reports that Pence's <br />noncompliance could culminate in a <br />legal battle in front of the Supreme Court.<br />In an interview with CBS News in November, Pence said Congress was not entitled to his testimony. .<br />We have a separation of powers <br />under the Constitution <br />of the United States, Mike Pence, former U.S. vice president, via CBS News.<br />And I believe it would establish <br />a terrible precedent for the Congress <br />to summon a vice president of the <br />United States to speak about deliberations that took place at the White House, Mike Pence, former U.S. vice president, via CBS News.<br />Pence is expected to announce <br />in the next few months whether he will run <br />for the nation's highest office in 2024
