would you like me to read the tweet? now that it s my hour we can put it in. we can put in public record, that s awesome, and hilarious. i m sorry the studio could hear me chortling. i m glad, you know me. i love laughter. it was a plus television production my friend. thanks to you at home for joining us this evening. we have some big breaking news. nbc news has now confirmed that former vice president, mike pence, has been subpoenaed by special counsel jack smith. the man who s overseeing the investigation into trump s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. including the attack on the u.s. capitol. the news was first reported by abc news. we don t know exactly what information was sodden at subpoena. but according to abc, it comes after months of negotiations between federal prosecutors, and pence s legal team. but the special counsel s office and a spokesman for the former vice president, are declining to comment nbc about this new development. thi
