Former Vice President Pence said Wednesday that he would consider an invitation to appear before the House committee investigating the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Pence spoke at a “Politics and Eggs” event hosted by Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire, a stop many presidential hopefuls make during campaign season.
When asked if he would be agreeable to appearing before the select committee, Pence said “if there was an invitation to participate, I would consider it.”
Pence added that it was unprecedented for a vice president to testify on Capitol Hill — though there is precedent for a sitting vice president, as well as several former presidents, appearing before House and Senate committees.
“Any invitation directed to me, I would have to reflect on the unique role I was serving in as vice president. It would be unprecedented in history for the vice president to be summoned to testify on Capitol Hill,” Pence said. “But as I said, I don’t want to pre-judge. So if any formal invitation was rendered to us, we’d give it due consideration.”
