\n

Former Vice President Mike Pence<\/a> is preparing to resist a Justice Department grand jury subpoena for him to testify on former President Donald Trump\u2019s efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, Fox News has learned.<\/p>\n

A source familiar with the former vice president’s thinking told Fox News on Tuesday morning that Pence plans to fight the subpoena issued last week by Special Counsel Jack Smith<\/a> regarding the Jan. 6 investigation into Trump, on the ground that he was president of the Senate and should be shielded from the order. Currently, it appears Pence is not planning to assert executive privilege.<\/p>\n

Politico first reported on Pence\u2019s decision to challenge the DOJ subpoena earlier Tuesday, citing two people familiar with the former vice president\u2019s thought process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MIKE PENCE’S FORMER ADVISER SAYS DOJ SUBPOENA ACTS AS \u2018SECURITY BLANKET\u2019 FOR EX-VP’S POSSIBLE 2024 RUN\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The former vice president\u2019s allies told Politico he’s protected by a constitutional provision called the “speech and debate clause,” which generally shields members of Congress from having to fear that anything they say during legislative activities will implicate them in a lawsuit. According to Politico, Pence\u2019s allies said federal prosecutors are legally blocked from compelling testimony from the former vice president related to key elements of Smith\u2019s probe under the Constitution\u2019s separation of powers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He thinks that the \u2018speech or debate\u2019 clause is a core protection for Article I, for the legislature,” one of the two sources familiar with Pence\u2019s legal strategy told Politico on condition of anonymity. “He feels it really goes to the heart of some separation of powers issues. He feels duty-bound to maintain that protection, even if it means litigating it.”<\/p>\n

Pence is the latest official in Trump’s administration to be subpoenaed as part of the investigation into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, but the push for Pence’s testimony is unique because he’s the highest-ranking official known to have been summoned.<\/p>\n

Trump, for his part, has not said whether he plans to assert executive privilege,<\/a> a doctrine meant to protect the confidentiality of the Oval Office decision-making process, to prevent Pence’s testimony.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former Trump administration national security adviser Robert O’Brien has also been subpoenaed by the special counsel as part of the Jan. 6 investigation and a separate probe into the presence of classified documents at Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago in Florida,<\/a> according to several media reports last week.<\/p>\n

This past Friday, the FBI discovered an additional document with classified markings at Pence’s Indiana home<\/a> following the discovery by his lawyers last month of sensitive government documents there. The search was described as consensual after negotiations between Pence’s representatives and the DOJ.\u00a0<\/p>\n

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland tapped Smith as special counsel to oversee the investigations into Trump last November shortly after the former president announced that he will seek the Republican ticket again in 2024. Last month, Garland chose a separate special counsel, Robert Hur, to investigate the classified documents found at the home and former office of President Biden.\u00a0<\/p>\n
