Optics vs. Safety

U.S. Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-VA-09) describes bombshell revelations from four D.C. National Guard officials’ testimony to the House Administration Committee Wednesday. Rep. Griffiths says the whistleblowers claim Army officials were concerned with the “optics” of deploying the D.C. National Guard to the Capitol and that the Democrat-led January 6 Select Committee spoke with them but never called them in to publicly testify during the 2022 hearings.
