Jan. 6 chair says panel will ask Pence to testify this month
By Rebecca Beitsch - 01/07/22 06:48 PM EST Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), chair of the committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, said the panel plans to ask former Vice President Mike Pence to voluntarily appear before the committee.
"I think you could expect that before the month's out," Thompson told NPR in a Friday interview.
Thompson had previously floated the idea of asking Pence to appear before the committee, telling CNN he hoped the former vice president “would do the right thing and come forward and voluntarily talk to the committee."
"We have not formally asked. But if he offered, we'd gladly accept. Everything is under consideration," he said.
Speaking with The Hill on Thursday, Thompson said he had not heard anything from Pence after hitting the airwaves expressing optimism for his cooperation.
