DEVELOPING: Mike Pence Subpoenaed by Special Counsel Overseeing Investigations Into Trump

Special Counsel overseeing the investigations into Trump has subpoenaed former Vice President Mike Pence.

It is unclear what information Special Counsel Jack Smith is seeking from Mike Pence.

ABC News reported:

Former Vice President Mike Pence has been subpoenaed by the special counsel overseeing probes into former President Donald Trump, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

It’s not immediately clear what information the subpoena from special counsel Jack Smith is seeking, but it follows months of negotiations between federal prosecutors and Pence’s legal team.

Jack Smith, who just returned to the US from Europe after recovering from a biking accident, is moving full steam ahead with his probes into whether Trump committed crimes.

The special counsel investigation was supposed to focus on whether Trump broke the law when he took White House records to Mar-a-Lago and the other part of the probe is related to January 6.

However, Jack Smith has now expanded his investigation and is looking into Trump’s efforts to fight the massive 2020 election fraud operation in key swing states.

In December it was reported that Jack Smith subpoenaed Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin officials for their communications with Trump in his effort to contest the 2020 election.

Jack Smith also issued subpoenas to secretaries of state in Michigan and Arizona as he expands his fishing expedition.

The subpoenas were issued to Soros-backed Jocelyn Benson and Katie Hobbs as part of Jack Smith’s investigation into Trump’s effort to contest the 2020 election.

Five Chinese Nationals Caught Entering US Illegally Through Mexico

Five Chinese nationals were recently placed under US Border Patrol custody after they illegally crossed into the United States through Mexico.

Fox News Correspondent Bill Melugin broke the news on Twitter and stated five Chinese nationals crossed illegally into Mission, Texas where they would later turn themselves into Border Patrol authorities.

Melugin would write Border Patrol agents in recent months have seen an “uptick” of Chinese nationals crossing into the US through Mexico.

NEW: Five more Chinese nationals just crossed illegally here in Mission, TX and are now in Border Patrol custody. We have seen an uptick in Chinese showing up, and a Border Patrol contact here in the RGV says they’re seeing an uptick as well. This group turned themselves in. pic.twitter.com/c8hRhp9kjP

A week earlier, the Texas Department of Public Safety apprehended three Chinese nationals after they illegally cross into the United States through the southern border.

The three Chinese nationals reportedly paid human smugglers $35,000 each to help guide them into Mission, Texas.

NEW: We witnessed three Chinese nationals cross illegally into Mission, TX in the RGV while we were with @TxDPS troopers. The Chinese migrants said they paid $35,000 each to smugglers to cross into the U.S. on rafts. Smugglers typically charge Chinese a much higher rate. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/DIiNfYIUYd

This isn’t the first time Chinese nationals have been caught crossing into the Southern Border.
