A federal appeals court on Wednesday night moved former U.S. vice-president Mike Pence closer to appearing before a grand jury investigating efforts to undo the results of the 2020 presidential election, rejecting a bid by lawyers for former president Donald Trump to block the testimony.
It was not immediately clear what day Pence might appear before the grand jury, which for months has been investigating the events preceding the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and efforts by Trump and his allies to subvert the election outcome.
The appeal was decided by Judge Gregory Katsas, a Trump appointee, and judges Patricia Millett and Gregory Wilkins, both appointees of former U.S. president Barack Obama. It was not clear if lawyers for Trump might ask the entire appeals court to hear the matter. "We'll obey the law, we'll tell the truth," Pence said in an interview with CBS News's "Face the Nation" that aired Sunday. "And the story that I've been telling the American people all across the country, the story that I wrote in the pages of my memoir, that'll be the story I tell in that setting."
"For four years, we had a close working relationship. It did not end well," Pence wrote, summing up their time in the White House.
