Marc ShortWASHINGTON - Former President Donald Trump received bad advice from "snake oil salesmen" who falsely told him Vice President Mike Pence had the authority to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, Pence's former chief of staff Marc Short said.
"I believe that Joe Biden is the duly elected President of the United States," Short said on Sunday. "The reality is that there was not enough significant fraud that was presented that would have overturned any of those states' elections." Last week, the National Archives announced it would be turning over Pence's records to the panel, after Trump lost a legal bid to block the committee from seeing them.
The committee is investigating whether any of Trump's inner circle helped plan the attack on the Capitol. It is also scrutinizing what steps Trump took to keep himself in power.
