Jan. 6 Committee May Demand Interviews With Trump, Pence

The January 6 Committee investigating the Capitol Riot is discussing whether it will call on former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence to interview with the committee, a Republican member of the committee said.

Republican Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger told The Wall Street Journal on Thursday that if the panel decides it wishes to speak with Pence, it may issue a subpoena to compel him to testify. The committee will discuss whether to interview Pence during a meeting Thursday, Kinzinger said.

Such a move would be incredibly unprecedented, a spokesman for the former vice president told The Daily Wire on Thursday evening. Pence’s team believes the story of what he witnessed that day has already been told, since numerous members of Pence’s staff have already testified.
