By Bridget Bowman and Ben Kamisar As former Vice President Mike Pence weighs taking on former President Donald Trump in the GOP presidential primary, he’ll also have to take Trump on in the courtroom. A federal judge ruled that Pence must testify in the investigation into Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, a source familiar with the decision tells NBC News’ Laura Jarrett and Rebecca Shabad.
Main Idea: Mike Pence must testify in the investigation into Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election, adding legal pressure as Pence also weighs a 2024 GOP run.
Key Points:
Pence’s court fight and Trump’s election probe could keep post-2020 politics and legal uncertainty in the spotlight, adding noise for voters and distracting leaders from public issues.
Pence’s testimony and campaign moves may give voters more facts about election conduct and candidate character before the 2024 primary.
