Marc Short, former Vice President Mike Pence's chief of staff, has been contacted about providing information to House impeachment managers about threats to Pence during last month's Capitol riot, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN.
Short has not responded, said the source, who added that managers are also seeking information from Chris Hodgson, Pence's former head of legislative affairs, whom House managers believe was also with Pence that day. House managers unexpectedly asked the Senate Saturday morning to allow them to bring forward witnesses in former President Donald Trump's impeachment trial, in which the threat posed to Pence during the riot has been a central focus. The Senate and trial lawyers instead agreed hours later to insert the statement of a House Republican into the trial record, moving the trial toward a final vote later Saturday.
