Schiff: Pence subpoena for Jan. 6 testimony a possibility

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said on Sunday that it is a possibility that the select House panel investigating Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol will subpoena former Vice President Mike Pence to testify.
“We’re not excluding anyone or anything at this point,” Schiff, a member of the House panel, said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
“We’re not taking anything off the table in terms of witnesses who have not yet testified. We would still, I think, like to have several high-profile people come before our committee,” he added. “But, at the moment, I can’t disclose what private conversations may or may not be going on with respect to certain individuals. But there are still key people we have not interviewed that we would like to.”
The California Democrat’s remarks came after the Jan. 6 panel last week detailed the pressure campaign on Pence by former President Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Schiff on Sunday said panel members this week will “hear about how a similar pressure campaign directed against state and local elections officials put their lives in danger.”
“And, similarly, [Trump] was told this scheme is essentially something that his own lawyers could not justify, but yet he pressed on, uprooted people’s lives, put their lives and our democracy very much at risk,” he said.
