Pence Listed as Potential Witness in Trump's Georgia Election Trial
The former Vice President could testify in the case where Trump faces 13 felony charges for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
- Former Vice President Mike Pence has been listed as a potential witness in former President Donald Trump's criminal trial in Georgia for attempting to overturn the 2020 election results.
- This marks the first confirmation that prosecutors have taken steps toward Pence testifying in the trial, with the former VP previously testifying to a grand jury in a separate federal case over Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
- The trial date for Trump's case in Georgia is yet to be decided, with Trump's attorney suggesting it should not take place until after Trump leaves office if he is elected to a second term in 2024.
- Trump, along with 18 allies, was indicted in August and faces 13 felony charges in the Georgia election case for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, and could be sentenced to prison if convicted.
- It remains unclear whether Trump could face any punishments for his continued attacks on Pence, with the former president barred from intimidating any witnesses under the terms of his release.
