The Wall Street Journal interview was published Thursday. Pence’s former chief of staff, Marc Short, and his chief legal adviser, Greg Jacob, have both testified before the committee. Thompson said earlier this week that the committee would consider whether to seek to interview Trump and Pence at a committee meeting on Thursday. “That’s part of the conversation we’re going to talk about on Thursday,” Thompson said Tuesday after the committee’s seventh public hearing, when asked if the committee wanted to hear from Pence. As of Thursday afternoon, the former vice president had yet to receive any offer of testimony — written or otherwise — from the committee, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The source would not definitively answer how Pence would respond to any of the committee’s requests, but the source did not close the door on either possibility. Pence and his aides always assumed the committee would come back and ask for written testimony from him, the source added. This story has been updated with additional details on Thursday. CNN’s Gloria Borger contributed to this report.
