Sarah Matthews is a longtime House GOP aide who served in Donald Trump's White House from June 2019 until January 2021, according to her LinkedIn
A White House press aide who quit the Trump administration after the US Capitol riot last year could be the January 6 committee's next public witness, it was reported on Tuesday night.
Former deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews was subpoenaed and will appear before House lawmakers as early as next week, sources told CNN.
It comes after the panel announced a new hearing scheduled for July 12.
Matthews resigned the evening of January 6 last year, writing in a statement that she 'was deeply disturbed by what I saw' at the US Capitol that day.
The July 12 hearing is one of two more the committee is expected to hold to present the evidence it's gathered so far of Donald Trump's alleged plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election and stay in power.
The final two hearings are reportedly going to focus on how Trump's supporters were led to gather at the Capitol on January 6, his encouragement for them to do so, and how the ex-president reacted to the violence that ensued.
