Mike Pence subpoenaed by special counsel overseeing Trump probes: Sources

Former Vice President Mike Pence has been subpoenaed by the special counsel overseeing probes into former President Donald Trump, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

It's not immediately clear what information the subpoena from special counsel Jack Smith is seeking, but it follows months of negotiations between federal prosecutors and Pence's legal team.

Smith was appointed in November to oversee the investigation into Trump's potential mishandling of classified documents after leaving the presidency and obstructing the government's efforts to retrieve them -- as well as a separate probe into efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

A spokesperson for Pence did not respond to a request for comment by ABC News. The special counsel's office also declined to comment.

The election is approaching and the Democrats are starting to panic.

Nooooo.

They’re trying to squeeze him.

I’m hope Pence will stand his ground….although it’s in his best interest to sink DJT.

Nah. He should just speak the truth and let the chips fall where they may. They have nothing and can’t imagine he would have anything that would hurt Trump.

He better tell the whole TRUTH, neither embellish nor leave out (nor conveniently “forget”) anything, nor chicken out and Fifth, and clear this two year crap up once and for all. If he lies, and is proven later of perjury, I’d be for prosecution and the full force of the law on this guy. Out with it. All.

Let’s be honest. DJT is no choir boy.

“ so how many time did President Trump call you and tell you to rescind the electoral votes “

“ What did he tell you about the proud boys?”

Brass knuckles, aimed propaganda, relentless targeting using every branch of government, federal and state prosecutors working round the clock, and Trump continues higher favorable than the plagiarizing c student at the bottom 20% of his class that spent 40 years stradding the political fence, accomplishing nothing, and found himself needed to oust a popular president with election fraud because the sitting president was an existential threat to everything corrupt around the Beltway swamp.

Some accomplished jerk Biden is.....

***********

Pence has had multiple opportunities to throw the 45th President under the political bus, starting with the January 6 kangaroo committee. So far, he has chosen not to participate in such stupidity.

It won’t be any different here. “Jack off” Smith will meander around, collect a pay check, turn in a nothing burger to Garland, before falling off his bicycle again.

P.S. If either Pence or Pompeo enter the Republican Primaries they’ll be “stalking horses” for Trump. You’ll hear a lot of this:

“I’m following my heart”

“I was proud to work in an administration that put the American people first for a change..... blah blah blah.”

Seven and a half years of non-stop attacks on Trump and they
haven’t got squat.

Some judge should start putting these clowns in prison for
contempt of court.

Right, don’t overplay these stunts. They have nothing on Trump but want to charge the atmosphere a little by harassing Pence.

Is he going to ask Mike about the classified documents he said he didn’t have?

Panic? Why?
They still own the balloting and the election process.
The pubbies have proves they don’t have the stomach for the fight.
They have no reason to panic, at all...
