Mike Pence’s response to potentially testifying in the case against Donald Trump for alleged election interference demonstrates his commitment to complying with the law. In a recent CNN interview on State of the Union, Pence stated, “I have no plans to testify, but, look, we’ll always comply with the law. But I don’t know what the path of this indictment will be.” Having previously testified before the federal grand jury investigating the case in April, Pence emphasized his willingness to respond to the call of the law and tell the truth.
Pence also acknowledged that Trump is entitled to a presumption of innocence and the opportunity to defend himself in court. Trump’s lawyers have indicated that they will argue the First Amendment protects the former president. Pence expressed confidence that Trump and his lawyer will address the complex issues surrounding the case, specifically pertaining to the First Amendment and freedom of speech. In response to Pence’s stance, Trump accused him of turning to the “dark side” on Truth Social.
Regarding Trump’s request for him to reject the results of the 2020 presidential election, Pence affirmed his loyalty to the Constitution. He asserted, “The American people deserve to know that President Trump asked me to put him over my oath to the Constitution, but I kept my oath and I always will. And I’m running for president in part because I think anyone who puts themselves over the Constitution should never be president of the United States. Our Constitution is more important than any one man, and our country is more important than any one man’s career.” Trump, however, disputed Pence’s account and referred to him as “delusional” on Truth Social. Trump denied ever instructing Pence to prioritize his interests over the Constitution.
