D.C. National Guard commander added as witness to hearing on Capitol attack

The commanding general of the D.C. National Guard will testify on Wednesday during a Senate hearing about the attack on the U.S. Capitol, joining a group that initially included only civilian witnesses, defense and congressional officials said.

The investigation — which congressional officials said could take more than a year — is far-reaching, with requests for information from multiple agencies and departments. A witness list disseminated to the news media last week included senior civilian officials from the Defense Department, FBI and Department of Homeland Security, but Maj. Gen. William Walker, the commanding general of the D.C. National Guard, was added to the list on Monday.

Walker oversaw the D.C. National Guard in its limited role responding to the possibility of violence ahead of the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, which was spawned from a rally in support of President Donald Trump’s false claims that the election was stolen from him. The National Guard response was expanded hours after Congress was overrun, eventually including about 26,000 National Guard members through the Jan. 20 inauguration of President Biden. Several thousand remain activated in Washington to provide security.

Capt. Edwin Nieves, a D.C. National Guard spokesman, said Monday that Walker is open to testifying and cooperating with the investigation.
