WASHINGTON (AP) – Indiana Congressman Greg Pence watched the January 6 uprising unfold from an extraordinary vantage point. He was with his brother, Vice President Mike Pence, who was to preside over a joint session of Congress where the outcome of the 2020 presidential election would be certified.
The two were removed from the Senate minutes before rioters stormed the chamber.
They spent the next several hours in a secure room, while the vice president pleaded for help cleaning the Capitol.
That point of view makes Greg Pence a tempting potential witness for the House committee investigating the origins of the attack.
A spokesman for the Republican congressman did not respond to a request for comment.
