A member of the Jan. 6 committee said he expects that former Vice President Mike Pence will speak with investigators.

In no ones case is a subpoena out of the question, but I would assume hes gonna come forward and testify voluntarily, the way the vast majority of people have," Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said during an interview that aired Sunday on CBS News's Face the Nation.

Pence has so far been noncommittal about appearing before the Jan. 6 committee if he is called upon for testimony.

"[In] the Constitution, we have three coequal branches. Any invitation to be directed to me I would have to reflect on the unique role that I was serving as vice president," Pence said during a trip to New Hampshire last month. "I don't want to prejudge. If [there was] ever any formal invitation rendered to us, we would give it due consideration."

Pence resisted pressure by former President Donald Trump and his supporters to stall the certification of President Joe Biden's 2020 victory and send electoral votes back to several battleground states where GOP-led legislatures could try to overturn the results over supposed concerns about fraud and irregularities.

He faced the wrath of supporters of Trump on Jan. 6, 2021, when rioters stormed the Capitol as the former vice president presided over the certification, and chants of "hang Mike Pence" could be heard from some of the protesters. Pence, along with his wife and daughter, was rushed to an underground Senate loading dock, but he refused to leave the Capitol complex and returned later that evening to finish the counting of electoral votes.

"Pence was the target of Donald Trump's wrath and fury and effort to overthrow the election on Jan. 6," Raskin said. "The whole idea was to get Pence to step outside his constitutional role, and then to declare unilateral lawless powers to reject Electoral College votes from the states. So I think he has a lot of relevant evidence, and I would hope he would come forward and testify about what happened."
