Three former top security officials in Congress who resigned in the immediate wake of the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol have been invited to testify over their responsibilities in the incident before a panel of Senators next week.
Following a failed effort from Congress to link former President Donald Trump’s speech to the breach of the Capitol building, Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs and Rules committees on Tuesday announced plans to “examine the security failures” that led to the breach. The first joint hearings will be held at 10 a.m. on Feb. 23, and are expected to feature testimonies from former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, former Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger, and former House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving.
