Former Vice President Mike Pence has confirmed that he took notes on his conversations with former President Trump leading up to the Jan. 6 riot, as Trump repeatedly pressured him to reject the results of the 2020 election during the certification in Congress.
IIRC, he was never actually subpoenaed, but was quite vocal that he wouldn’t cooperate, so the committee simply didn’t bother. They certainly would have taken his testimony if offered.
The VP does have a unique position, being the only elected person in the Federal Government involved in two branches at once. It’s possible that the committee didn’t want to get bogged down in litigating that as part of the subpoena.
