Pence chief of staff Marc Short questioned by Jan. 6 committee

Former Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff, Marc Short, has answered questions from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack.

Former Vice President Mike Pence’s chief of staff, Marc Short, has answered questions from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, two sources familiar with the deposition told ABC News.

Short's testimony was given last week, sources said. It was first reported by CNN.

Short's decision to answer questions from committee investigators rather than fight the subpoena issued to him is the latest reminder that several key players close to former President Donald Trump are quietly cooperating with the Jan. 6 investigation.

The former president has repeatedly sought to discredit the work of the committee and urged his allies and aides not to comply.
