  + stars: | 2022-11-23 | by ( John L. Dorman | C. Ryan Barber | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
The DOJ is looking to question Pence in their criminal probe of Trump's efforts to stay in office, per the NYT. The former VP views the Justice Department's criminal probe as apart from the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, which he declined to testify before. But Pence has a different view of the Justice Department inquiry because it is a criminal investigation, the New York Times reported, citing people familiar with the former vice president's thinking. After making initial appearances before the grand jury, Short and Jacob both returned to testify after the Justice Department contested Trump's executive privilege claims in a closed-door court proceeding. The former vice president cooperating in the investigation would be a remarkable development, as Trump has already announced a 2024 presidential campaign and Pence is considering a campaign of his own.
