(CNN)Sarah Matthews, who served as deputy press secretary in the Trump White House until resigning shortly after the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, has been subpoenaed by the House select committee investigating the insurrection and has agreed to testify at an upcoming hearing, according to two sources with knowledge of the investigation.
Matthews has been subpoenaed to testify at a public hearing as early as next week, sources tell CNN.
Matthews resigned the night of January 6, 2021, saying in a statement that she was honored to serve in then-President Donald Trump's administration but "was deeply disturbed by what I saw." She added: "Our nation needs a peaceful transfer of power."
After another former Trump White house aide, Cassidy Hutchinson, publicly testified before the committee last week, Matthews tweeted: "Anyone downplaying Cassidy Hutchinson's role or her access in the West Wing either doesn't understand how the Trump (White House) worked or is attempting to discredit her because they're scared of how damning this testimony is."

Perhaps the fact that these assholes think so little of women, particularly young women....

It's definitely why they think they can easily dismiss their testimonies. n/t

It must have been hell to be a young woman in that perverted (literally) environment. It must be satisfying to take down the Grand Old Pervs, even though, for some unfathomable reason, they still want to support the GOP.

What was the plan for when the Jan 6 plan succeeded? I hope we dont need to wait for a new committee since I would think some of the people already being questioned should have been aware of those plans.

on the Proud Boys and other extremist groups. That should be interesting!
