Claims and evidence
- factreported
Pence appeared before the federal grand jury investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 result after courts required testimony about non-legislative matters while protecting some Speech or Debate interests. Grand-jury secrecy prevents any reliable public description of his testimony; the disclosed facts establish only his compelled witness role and the privilege boundary.
