Former NSC aide Matthew Pottinger to testify at House Jan. 6 committee hearing

A former member of President Trump’s National Security Council, Matthew Pottinger, is expected to testify publicly before the House Jan. 6 committee at its prime-time hearing on Thursday.

The Asia expert is scheduled to appear alongside Sarah Matthews, a former deputy press secretary for Mr. Trump who says she was disturbed by the events of Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol.

Mr. Pottinger, who worked for the Wall Street Journal before joining the Marine Corps, resigned in response to Mr. Trump’s reaction to the 2021 assault on the Capitol, according to CNN, which first reported his planned testimony.
