Pence was inside U.S. District Court in Washington for more than
seven hours, ABC News and NBC News reported earlier.
Representatives for Pence had no comment.
The former vice president's appearance before the grand jury
comes as he is exploring a possible challenge to Trump for the
Republican presidential nomination in 2024.
Security was beefed up at the federal courthouse in Washington
and a bomb-sniffing dog was spotted in the hallway.
Trump, who announced late last year his bid for the White House
for 2024, was recently indicted in a separate probe in New York
over alleged hush payments.
On Wednesday, Trump lost an appeal to block Pence from
testifying in the special counsel probe, according to CNN.
Earlier this month, Pence disclosed that he would not appeal a
judge's ruling that required him to testify to the federal grand
jury about conversations he had with Trump leading up to the
deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Special Counsel Jack Smith took over the probe into efforts to
overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election,
including a plot to submit phony slates of electors to block
Congress from certifying Democrat Joe Biden's victory.
Ahead of the 2021 Capitol attacks by Trump supporters, the
then-president repeatedly lambasted Pence for refusing to try to
prevent Congress from certifying Biden’s win in the 2020
election.
Trump is also facing other legal hurdles as well, including a
separate special counsel probe into his handling of classified
documents and a probe in Georgia related to alleged interference
with the state's 2020 election.
