National Guard soldiers are slated to testify Wednesday before the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight about the response to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
The hearing comes as the scope of a federal obstruction law used against scores of Jan. 6 rioters — and former President Trump — drew scrutiny from the Supreme Court Tuesday, a signal that the justices may be wary of the Justice Department’s far-reaching prosecution of the Capitol attack.
Since the Capitol riot, more than 1,300 people have faced charges for their role in the attack.
The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.

As a former military personnel myself, I believe it is crucial for the National Guard soldiers to come forward and share their experiences regarding the Jan. 6 response. Transparency and accountability are essential in understanding the events that unfolded that day and ensuring justice is served for those involved.
