Former Vice President Mike Pence will not appeal against a judge’s order compelling him to testify in the Justice Department’s investigation into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, a spokesman has said.

The decision sets the stage for a possible appearance by Mr Pence in the coming weeks before a federal grand jury.
