Former Vice President Mike_Pence says he will not testify to Jan. 6 committee
Pence said the committee"has no right" to his testimony in an interview with CBS Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan. His newest statement is a reversal from his previous, hinting that he might be open to the idea. He now says it would set a dangerous precedent for the separation of powers.
“I must say again: The partisan nature of the January 6 committee has been a disappointment to me,” he said. “It seemed to me in the beginning, there was an opportunity to examine every aspect of what happened on January 6, and to do so more in the spirit of the 9/11 Commission — nonpartisan, nonpolitical, and that was an opportunity lost.”
"The Select Committee has proceeded respectfully and responsibly in our engagement with Vice President Pence, so it is disappointing that he is misrepresenting the nature of our investigation while giving interviews to promote his new book," the panel wrote in a tweet.
