Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday that he would "enough" testify before a congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol last year. I will consider it," he said. It called for Pence to be hanged for refusing to demand that then-President Donald Trump's re-election loss be overturned.
Pence said nearly 2,000 Trump supporters It was in the early stages of overseeing congressional certification of state-by-state Electoral College ballots, showing Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris defeated Trump and Pence in the election.

"Hang Mike Pence!" A gallows was erected on the National Mall with a view of the Capitol.
Pence is considering his 2024 presidential run and has made political speeches in several key early-nomination states. On Wednesday, he said at a rally in northeastern New Hampshire that if a House committee would "formally invite" him to attend, "I would consider it." After the adjournment, the commission, which is scheduled to resume hearings in September, has already heard testimony from two of Pence's key aides. Trump pressured the vice president to send election results back to legislatures in states where he narrowly lost so that electoral votes supporting Trump could replace the electoral votes he pledged to Biden. It was for the sake of it.
However, after studying his role in overseeing electoral college votes, Pence accepted the advice of numerous aides and legal experts.

Some Republicans attacked Federal Bureau of Investigation investigators to conduct searches. This was the first time my house had been searched for evidence of any kind.
In a speech in New Hampshire, Pence said, "This unprecedented action calls for unprecedented transparency," and explained to Garland the reasons behind the search.
However, Pence defended the investigators who conducted the search.
"I would like to remind my fellow Republicans that you can take responsibility for the decisions that [Garland] made without attacking law enforcement officers in general at the FBI. The Republican Party is the Party of Law and Order. These attacks on the FBI must stop," he said.
