The previous vice president’s statements ran for approximately seven hours and were conducted in secret; so it is still unclear exactly what he revealed to the prosecution team reviewing evidence presented in the case.
His presence is a constitutionally significant event that could put the former president in legal jeopardy. Pence is seen as a key witness in the criminal inquiry being conducted by special prosecutor Jack Smith.
