Washington, July 12 (RHC)-- A former spokesperson for the far-right Oath Keepers is set to testify publicly on Tuesday at the next hearing of the House January 6th committee. Jason Van Tatenhove worked with the Oath Keepers from 2014 to 2017.
Tuesday’s hearing is expected to focus on the role of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys in the deadly insurrection. Justice Department prosecutors have accused members of the Oath Keepers of bringing explosives to Washington, D.C., and for maintaining a death list of election officials in Georgia to target.
This comes as Donald Trump’s former adviser Steve Bannon has informed the committee he is willing to testify publicly. Bannon was due to be tried this month for contempt of Congress.
On Friday, the January 6th committee spent eight hours privately questioning former White House counsel Pat Cipollone. One member of the committee, Democrat Zoe Lofgren, said Cipollone “did not contradict” the testimony of previous witnesses.
