Post navigation Former US Vice President Mike Pence does not appear to be ruling out taking the stand in potential court proceedings in the future involving his successor President Donald Trump. Pence asserts that he will always uphold the law, and indicated that he may cooperate with investigations. While Pence has yet to receive a formal request to do so, he is open to appearing as a witness when the time comes. Russia and Ukraine have been at war for five years. The conflict between the two countries has caused immense destruction and cost the lives of over 13,000 people. Over 1.5 million Ukrainians have been forced to flee their homes due to the fighting.
