The move by the Justice Department to bring two top aides to former Vice President Mike Pence in front of a federal grand jury is the most aggressive public step taken yet by prosecutors investigating the plots to subvert the 2020 election.

It signals that the Department’s probe has reached inside former President Donald Trump’s White House and that investigators are looking at conduct directly related to Trump’s and his closest allies’ efforts to overturn his election defeat.

Former Pence chief of staff Marc Short testified in front of a grand jury in DC on Friday, CNN has confirmed. Fellow Pence aide Greg Jacob testified in recent weeks as well, CNN has learned from a source close to the investigation.

The January 6th Riot investigations is consuming Capital Hill this summer with a surprisingly dramatic set of hearings that seem to have captured the public’s attention as well as the media’s. More actors are coming forward with revelations that to me were somehow already known if not admitted in open public such as the behavior of the former President on that fateful day. The Justice Department has a decision of a lifetime to make when deciding if Mr. Trump will be indicted for alleged crimes on January 6th.
