Top defense officials during the Trump administration should testify to Congress to explain why it took so long to deploy National Guard troops to help law enforcement officers quell the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) said this week.

Peters wants to ask questions of Christopher Miller, who was acting defense secretary on that date, as well as former Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy.
