Pence does not commit to cooperating with Jan. 6th congressional committee

BEDFORD, N.H. – Former Vice President Mike Pence says he’ll "evaluate" any requests to cooperate with the special congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol.

"We’ll evaluate any of those requests as they come," the former vice president told Fox News and the Associated Press on Wednesday, during a jam-packed one-day trip to New Hampshire.

The select committee, created by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic majority in the chamber, is investigating the origins of the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capital by right-wing extremists and other supporters of former President Donald Trump who aimed to disrupt congressional certification of President Biden’s Electoral College victory in the 2020 election.

Pence, in his constitutional role, oversaw the congressional certification and ignored repeated requests by then-President Trump to overturn the Electoral College results. By following the law instead of carrying out Trump’s wishes, Pence has endured the wrath of the former president and plenty of Trump’s most devout loyalists and supporters..............

..............The former vice president, for months, has said that he did "the right thing" and did his "duty under the Constitution."

"Jan. 6 was a tragic day in the life of our nation’s capital. But thanks to the efforts of law enforcement that day, we quelled the riot and reconvened the Congress, and we completed our work," Pence emphasized in an interview with Fox News during a stop at a bakery in Bedford, New Hampshire.............

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
