The House select committee investigating the US Capitol riot is considering formally asking former Vice President Mike Pence to voluntarily appear before the panel
Rep. Bennie Thompson, the committee's chairman, told NPR that the committee will meet next week to discuss offering Pence a formal invitation to voluntarily appear."I think you could expect that before the month's out," the Mississippi Democrat said of the invitation to Pence.Pence certified the 2020 presidential election despite an extensive pressure campaign led by then-President Donald Trump and his allies to halt the process.
Adam Schiff, a member of the select committee, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Friday that the committee is interested in talking to Pence and that asking him to appear is one of the options they are considering."As the chair has indicated, we intend to extend that invitation fairly soon," the California Democrat said.Schiff, however, would not comment on whether the committee would take the step of issuing a subpoena if Pence turned down its offer.
