Pence confirms he will resist subpoena. Pence confirms he'll resist subpoena from special counsel in Trump probes
Pence has opted for a claim of legislative privilege related to the "speech or debate" clause.rather than executive privilege. U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham made the same legislative privilege claim and ultimately lost in the Supreme Court. Article from November 2022. Supreme Court Rules That Lindsey Graham Must Testify in Georgia Inquiry
Pence was presiding over the U.S. Senate when he was counting the electoral votes for the 2020 election. He was subject to pressure by Trump to not certify Biden's win. He is claiming legislative privilege for a legislative duty that is related to the DOJ's apparent investigation of Trump's behavior toward Pence that involved that duty.
The fact that Pence has opted for legislative privilege indicates that the DOJ is interested in Pence for matters related to Trump trying to overthrow the 2020 election rather than the classified documents investigation. Or at least Pence anticipates that or has inside information about the DOJ via his attorneys. If the DOJ is currently after Pence for the classified documents case, Pence would have opted for executive privilege instead of legislative privilege. Pence could also invoke executive privilege to try to defend himself and Trump. Various Trump administration officials and associates have already done so with most losing in court.
Pence doesn't want to be outdone by Trump and DeSantis in culture wars. Tweet by Pence on February 15, 2023: "One of the oldest liberties in existence is the right of parents to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children. Family is more than an institution, it is the foundation of all other institutions. We won’t let the Radical Left undermine the family!"
The 2024 campaign hasn't yet started in earnest. Pence hasn't announced his candidacy. Yet he's off making statements as outlandish as Trump and DeSantis. Pence moves to claim culture war lane before DeSantis gets there
