that that evidence i particularly damaging to donal trump. mike pence may even, as witness, try to help donal trump. but i think the experience o mike pence, overall, i important evidence for the entirety of this case, and the entirety of what prosecutors have to decide, as to whethe there are criminal charges here >> do you think, devlin, tha what pence is behind close doors, is eventually going t come out assuming, i suppose if there i eventual prosecution, there's high likelihood that we're going to find out what he says right? >> right if there were a trial on any subject, presumably would ge an understanding about wha mike pence said in grand jur jury i think frankly with high-profile investigation like this, there is a high chance that at some point this version will come out. but mike pence has been very adamant that my private versio will be the same as my publi version. >> the only difference, though is he is saying it under oath, and the doj can ask some follow-up questions, which i a sure they will have devlin barrett, thank you for making the time tonight.

the special counsel want t allow that he's going to have to be fully forthcoming, and i think tha it signals that this is coming near the end of the specia counsel's investigation. more than anything else, to me it's an affirmation of the rul of law, still working in thi country. a vice president cannot hide behind falsified privilege, or the political expedience about not wanting to testify about somebody popular in that party it's not a good enough reaso to do your duty, and the court would uphold that subpoena, an compel them to speak unprecedented, certainly ver important to investigation, an also invalidates the rule of law. >> of course, the rule of law. with your deep familiarity o the events of january 6th, wha would you ask the vice president? what do we not know that w need to know about the run u on january 6th and the day o itself >> i can say, as a forme
