January 6 Committee chairman wants to speak directly with Mike Pence

(CNN)Rep. Bennie Thompson, chairman of select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection, wants to hear directly from then-Vice President Mike Pence, who certified the 2020 presidential election despite an extensive pressure campaign led by then-President Donald Trump and his allies to halt the process.

Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, wants Pence to voluntarily speak with the panel about what he witnessed on January 6 and the conversations he was privy to in the days leading up to it, which could provide extensive insight to the panel's investigation.

"I would hope that he would do the right thing and come forward and voluntarily talk to the committee," Thompson told CNN in an interview Tuesday.

A spokesperson for Pence declined to comment on Thompson's remarks.
