Can Former Vice President Mike Pence's Testimony Harm Donald Trump's Legal and Political Future?

Former Vice President Mike Pence appears before a grand jury investigating former President Donald Trump's attempts to stay in power despite his loss in the 2020 election. Mr. Pence, who is considering running for president in 2024, spent over five hours providing testimony in a criminal investigation that could influence the legal and political future of his former boss and potential rival. Mr. Pence's decision not to comply with Mr. Trump's demands to use his role as president of the Senate to hinder Joseph R. Biden's victory could make him a valuable witness in the investigation. While both Mr. Pence and Mr. Trump attempted to fight the subpoena, the former vice president was only partially successful. The judge specified that he would not need to testify on the matter of his Senate presidency on January 6, but that he could be asked about Mr. Trump's potential criminal behavior. A federal appeals court denied Mr. Trump's emergency appeal to halt Mr. Pence's testimony, which could occur soon.
