mark short is notable because he was chief of staff to mike pence and was with the then vice president on that day when you ll recall the rioters were hunting for mike pence. . [ chanting hang mike pence ] mark short was also reported to be in key meetings just days before the insurrection when trump team lawyer john eastman was trying to convince pence to subvert the process of certifying joe biden s election. the washington post reports that two days before the riot, eastman quote made the case for pence to act during a meeting in the oval office with trump, pence, and pence s chief of staff mark short. recently pence spoke about his decision not to turn over the 2020 election. i don t know if president trump and i will ever see eye to eye on that day or that many of our most ardent supporters will agree with my decision that day. but i know i did the right thing. meanwhile, the committee is still working to get information from other witnesses because not all people
kinds of documents he wants to keep hidden about january 6. a new k file report exposes some of the most direct comments of a then trump lawyer s intent to undermine the election. the overnight released from the national archives. for the first time detailed general nature of the records trump is suing to keep secret, including files from top administration officials, steven miller, kayleigh mcenany. among the papers are three handwritten notes about events of january 6th. kaitlin poleance has more on what he doesn t want seen by the house committee investigating january 6th. these documents i think are critical to getting to the bottom of what happened. truly, jim. we did not know what records had existed in the trump white house before last night in the court filing. very late at night, national archives puts out a list of more than 700 pages itemized, saying this is what donald trump wants to keep secret and gave details that we didn t know. there are handwritten memos o
of time to answer their questions. the whole video was four minutes long and we want to show you the entire thing. here s what happened. . what you got? i will. what do you want to know? what s the current state of the case? i m not allowed to make any comments because it s an ongoing investigation. but the sheriff s department in santa fe, i can t answer any questions about the investigation. i can t. it s an active investigation in terms of number one she was my friend. she was my friend. the day i arrived, i took her to dinner. with joel, the director. we were a very, very, excuse me, we were a very, very, you know, well oiled crew shooting a film together then this horrible event happened. now, i ve been told multiple times, don t make any comments about the ongoing investigation and i can t. i can t. i can t. that s it. what other questions do you have other than that? you met with the forget her name. you met with her family. halyna. her name is halyn

That, and it s several agreements, including not to talk about the case with the defendant unless in the presence of counsel, not to discuss with witnesses and not to attempt to intimidate witnesses. i doubt there s much john eastman could do to intimidate a witness in this case. the consent bond orders are instructive. i think it s fair to assume that donald trump s will look similar in some areas, especially on those questions of how he conducts himself with other witnesses, or excuse me, with other defendants, and how he handles the possibility of intimidating or influencing witnesses. something we know he tried to do in this case on the day the grand jury voted when he posted about georgia s lieutenant governor, telling him not to go testify. let s bring in blayne alexander, our correspondent from the courthouse for us. blayne, it s good to have you. do we have any idea when everybody is going to show up? usually by this time, at least with the president, we have an idea, former
