A federal judge has ruled that former US vice president Mike Pence will have to testify before a grand jury as part of the investigation into efforts by former president Donald Trump to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

That is according to two people familiar with the decision, who spoke on Tuesday on condition of anonymity because it remains under seal.
