Mike Pence Says He Will Not Testify Before Jan. 6 Committee: ‘Congress Has No Right to My Testimony’

Former Vice President Mike Pence said that he would refuse to testify before the Jan. 6 Committee because Congress has “no right” to his testimony.

Pence made the comments in an interview with Margaret Brennan of CBS News, who asked him whether he would testify as many of his staffers have.

“I served for twelve years in the Congress, it’s inconceivable to me that one party would appoint every member of a committee in Congress, that’s antithetical to that whole idea of the committee system. That being said I never stood in the way of senior members of my team cooperating with the committee and testifying,” Pence responded.

“But Congress has no right to my testimony,” he added.

“We have a separation of powers under the Constitution of the United States and I believe it would establish a terrible precedent for the Congress to summon a vice president of the United States to speak about deliberations that took place at the White House,” Pence said.
