Former Mike Pence Chief of Staff Marc Short testified last week to the federal grand jury investigating Trump’s failed coup attempt, ABC News reports. Short would be by our estimate the highest ranking Trump Administration official to have testified so far in the criminal side of the investigation. Short testified voluntarily to the House January 6th Committee.
In his testimony to committee investigators, the top Pence aide said he had warned the Secret Service the day before the insurrection that the Donald was going to turn on the Veep the next day and to be ready for it. Short was heavily involved in pushing back against John Eastman and the other assholes working to pressure Pence on rejecting the slates of electors from the swing states.
