"Former Vice President Mike Pence is planning to challenge a grand jury subpoena from the special counsel investigating Donald Trump and his allies on grouds the separation of powers under the US Constitution shields him from some Justice Department inquires.

Pence will resist the subpoena using the argument he was acting as president of the Senate during the January 6, 2021 insurrection, when a mob of Trump supporters tried to stop the counting of Electoral College votes at the US Capitol according to a person familiar with his plan.

Special COunsel Jack Smith subpoenaed Pence and former National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien as part of his investigation into efforts by Trump and others to overturn the 2020 presidential election."
