Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence has vowed to challenge a subpoena by the special counsel overseeing investigations into Trump’s efforts to overturn the federal election

The Department of Justice is investigating Donald Trump and his allies, as Pence argues the separation of powers shields him from testimony.

There’s been a number of occasions when members of Congress have successfully invoked the constitutional shield against criminal probes and civil lawsuits.

But it remains unclear whether this protection extends to a former vice president.

Trump spent the days before the January 6 Capitol riot aggressively pressuring Pence to reject the outcome of the election, even though Pence had no power to do so.

Pence was at the Capitol as Trump’s supporters violently stormed the building.

Rejecting the DOJ’s probe, the former vice President says we live in “unprecedented times”.
