Former Pence chief of staff meets with House January 6 committee
CBSN
Former Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff Marc Short testified last week before the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol, two sources familiar with the meeting told CBS News.
Short's testimony came in response to a subpoena from the committee, one of the sources said.
Short was with Pence in the Capitol on January 6 as pro-Trump rioters overtook the building and the pair were forced to evacuate to a safe location within the Capitol complex. Trump had publicly and privately pressured Pence to reject the election results in certain states won by Joe Biden, but Pence issued a statement saying he could not do so.

Jefferson County Sheriff Dave Marshak said at a news conference that authorities believe both children were killed Tuesday morning.
