Also, Pence's former legal advisor is testifying? Will this be under oath?

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/former-pence-counsel-testify-thursday-before-jan-6-capitol-riot-panel-2022-06-15/

quote:

WASHINGTON, June 15 (Reuters) - A senior aide and a retired federal judge who advised former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence are set to testify on Thursday to the House of Representatives committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the panel said on Wednesday.

Greg Jacob, who served as counsel to Pence, and retired U.S. Appeals Court Judge J. Michael Luttig, who was an informal adviser, are scheduled to testify at the third of an expected six public hearings the committee has planned for this month.

The hearing is due to focus on Pence's role that day in overseeing formal congressional certification of Joe Biden's 2020 election victory over then-President Donald Trump, who has made false claims that the election was stolen through widespread voting fraud.

Did Pence himself ever give an interview to the committee? Doesn't seem like it but I wonder why not

I believe they've sworn in all the previous witnesses, so presumably this will be under oath.

Huh. Seems like it'd be a hard thing to keep secret.

I hope he has though. I doubt he cares much about protecting Donald and probably doesn't have to worry about self incrimination since he seemed to play by the rules. The base already hates him so it's not like he has to care about alienating them. If they have recorded testimony from Pence, there will be a ton of media hype and a lot of discussion about it so fingers crossed.

Having him walk in to testify during the hearings would be some Nathan Jessup poo poo.

IS THAT MIKE PENCE'S MUSIC?!

I think it was stated that Jacobs and the other guy who worked for Pence gave all the info and they didn't interview him because they had what they needed, but it sure would be amazing if he showed up or taped something. I know the VP's office cooperated fully and gave up all the documents the committee asked for. If they did have him on deck I'm sure they'd do it during a prime time hearing though.

He has every reason in the world to keep any deposition absolutely quiet.

However if I had to bet, I would bet that he has not.

The judge may also be taking his time to choose his words very, very carefully. He likely understands the gravitas of the moment and the importance of careful precision in what he says.

Or maybe he's simply a slow talker. I'm just guessing.
