National Guard Officers to Testify on Response to Jan. 6 Capitol Breach
• DC National Guard officers to testify they were ready to deploy on Jan 6 but Army delayed approval for hours • Officers claim the Democrat-led Jan 6 committee ignored them as it didn't fit narrative of blaming Trump • Witnesses to detail how they sat ready in buses in tactical gear but didn't get deployment orders for over 3 hours • Suggestion that Army Secretary McCarthy delayed deployment over concerns about interfering with election certification • Hearing to examine communication breakdown and security readiness, not partisan blame
