Pence’s former chief of staff, Marc Short, appeared before a Jan. 6 grand jury under subpoena. He’s one of the latest and most significant witnesses to face grand jury questions related to the Capitol attack.
Marc Short, who served as chief of staff to former Vice President Mike Pence, is one of the most significant witnesses known to face grand jury questions related to Jan. 6. | Patrick Semansky/AP PhotoMarc Short, who served as chief of staff to former Vice President Mike Pence, appeared before a federal grand jury last week investigating matters connected to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Short’s testimony was featured in the public hearings the House’s Jan. 6 select committee has held over the last several weeks. Top Pence counsel Greg Jacob, who took the lead on helping Pence resist the pressure campaign, testified publicly at a hearing last month about his involvement, including a flurry of exchanges with Trump attorney John Eastman while Pence was fleeing the violent Jan. 6 mob.
The select committee has publicly expressed uncertainty about whether it will formally request Pence’s cooperation or testimony, with multiple members suggesting it may be unnecessary given the thorough cooperation from Short, Jacob and other Pence aides. ABC first reported Short’s grand jury appearance, which came on the same day a jury convicted Steve Bannon for contempt of Congress related to his refusal to respond to a Jan. 6 select committee subpoena for testimony and documents. The network noted that its cameras observed Short and his attorney, Emmet Flood, departing the courthouse.
