Mike Pence: ‘I Have No Plans to Testify’ Against Trump, But Will Always Comply with the Law

Pence: “Well, you know, I testified before the grand jury, under a subpoena, after we got clarification from the court about protections that I have under the Constitution as the president of the Senate. But I have no plans to testify. But, look, we will always — we will always comply with the law. But, look, I want to tell you, I don’t know what the path of this indictment will be. The president is entitled to a presumption of innocence. He’s entitled to make his defense in court. There actually are profound issues around this pertaining to the First Amendment, freedom of speech and the rest. I’m confident he and his lawyers will litigate all of those things. But what I want the American people to know is that President Trump was wrong then and he’s wrong now that I had no right to overturn the election, I had no right to reject or return votes, and that, by God’s grace, I did my duty under the Constitution of the United States, and I always will.”
