Thursday’s hearing — the third of at least seven planned by the House committee for June — will focus on the internal battle within the Trump White House over whether Pence could unilaterally stop Biden’s election certification and keep Trump in power.
The committee is expected to present new information through exhibits and live and videotaped testimony when the hearing kicks off at 1 p.m. ET.
Marc Short, Pence's chief of staff at the time, will not be testifying in-person but his recorded testimony may be used during the hearing, the Jan. 6 committee aide said. As rioters breached the Capitol on Jan. 6, some chanted “Hang Mike Pence!” and erected a gallows outside of the building. Pence’s security detail rushed him from the Senate chamber to a nearby room then moved him down a flight of stairs to an underground loading dock, according toJohn Wood, senior investigative counsel for the Jan. 6 panel who was a federal prosecutor during the George W. Bush administration, will also question witnesses on Thursday.
