"It is a matter of public interest, Mr. Vice President, if this case comes to trial, would you be a witness against the president?" CBS News host Margaret Brennan asked.

"You know, I didn't want anything to do with the January 6 committee. That was a partisan committee on Capitol Hill," Pence responded.

"I have no plans to testify, but people can be confident we'll obey the law. We'll respond to the call of the law, if it comes, and we'll just tell the truth," Pence added.

Pence played a key role in the latest indictment of Trump. Special Counsel Jack Smith included the former vice president's personal notes from the days leading up to the Capitol protests as evidence against Trump. The notes, used by the Department of Justice to portray Trump as Hitler 2.0, were contemporaneous and included in Smith's indictment of Trump.

Pence's notes detail that Trump told the former vice president that the DOJ was "finding major infractions" related to the 2020 presidential election.

The notes also reveal that Trump "berated" Pence when the then-vice president said he had no constitutional authority that would permit him to reject the certification of electoral college votes.

"You're too honest," Trump replied to Pence, according to the indictment. "Hundreds of thousands are gonna hate your guts.… People are gonna think you're stupid."
