Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence said on August 17, local time, that he would consider appearing and testifying at a hearing before the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots.

  "If I were invited to attend, I would consider it," Pence said at an event.

But at the same time, Pence said the vice president's testimony on Capitol Hill was "unprecedented" and that he must weigh its nature.
