A former DC National Guard official is accusing 2 Army generals of lying under oath in congressional testimony about the military's response to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Matthews also alleged that the two generals “falsely claimed” that the National Guard didn’t have the training and resources to move quickly in shifting from traffic control to civil disturbance operations, and he called them both"absolute and unmitigated liars" for their characterization of events.
In his memo, Matthews said that the alleged lies “contributed to the deficiencies” in the Pentagon inspector general’s report. The senior Army leaders recommended instead that National Guardsmen be used to relieve D.C. police officers of traffic duties to allow more of them to aid in the Capitol response.
