The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack has spoken with Marc Short, former Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff, CNN reports.
Short testified before the committee last Wednesday, after receiving a subpoena, people with knowledge of the matter told CNN. The panel is looking at all facets of how the attack came to be, including former President Donald Trump's actions before and during the riot. Short was at a White House meeting on Jan. 4, 2021, when Trump and attorney John Eastman attempted to coerce Pence into overturning the election results, and he also accompanied Pence to the Capitol on Jan. 6.
