Former Vice President Mike Pence’s right-hand man testified before the Jan. 6 committee last week, according to a new report.
Marc Short, who was Pence’s chief of staff, was questioned by the committee Wednesday in a “lengthy session” after receiving a subpoena, according to CNN. Short, who was with Pence on Jan. 6 during the Capitol riot, is seen as a critical witness to the inquiry.

Short previously provided the House select committee with documents that were subpoenaed, the report noted.
Rep. Liz Cheney, one of two Republican members of the panel, suggested in a recent Today interview that several of Pence’s former associates were cooperating with the committee’s investigation.
“We look forward to continuing the cooperation that we’ve had with members of the former vice president’s team, and I look forward as well to his cooperation,” she said at the time.

Pence himself has yet to testify but did say in an interview with Fox News last Thursday that Jan. 6 was “a tragic day in the life of the nation.”
Earlier this month, the chairman of the Jan. 6 committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson, said he expects Pence will be asked to do a voluntary interview “before the month’s out.”
