“The Daily Show” guest host John Leguizamo is all for the prospect of former Vice President Mike Pence testifying about former President Donald Trump’s plot to overturn the 2020 election result.

On Wednesday, the actor aired news reports saying how Pence may be forced to tell a grand jury about his private conversations with Trump in the run-up to the Jan. 6, 2021, violence, including when Trump reportedly berated Pence and called him names for refusing to go along with the insurrectionist scheme.

“Don’t make Pence say all the names that Trump called him. Yo, that could take weeks. These jury members have families to go home to,” Leguizamo joked.

“Although as a viewer, it’s something I’d like to see actually,” he admitted.

Leguizamo then donned a wig and, as Pence, imagined the mocking monikers he was given by Trump.

Pension funds brace for £30bn hit from Gove leasehold reforms
Pension funds are braced for a hit worth tens of billions of pounds as Michael Gove, the levelling up secretary, tries to salvage his ambition of overhauling Britain’s centuries-old property leasehold system. Sky News has learnt that the insurance and pensions industries believe that Mr Gove's now-favoured option of imposing a £250 cap on ground rent and transitioning to 'peppercorn' levels over a 20-year period will cost in the region of £30bn. The figure is understood to mirror the Treasury's internal estimate of the cost to investors, according to insiders.
