GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has become the first member of Congress to publicly testify under oath about the events surrounding the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday became the first member of Congress to publicly testify under oath about the events surrounding the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Monday night, a federal judge allowed a legal challenge by a group of Georgia voters to move forward as they seek to disqualify Greene from running for reelection, citing her alleged role supporting the attack.
The voters argue a provision of the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment known as the "disqualification clause" prevents Greene from holding federal office.
Passed shortly after the Civil War, the disqualification clause bars any person from holding federal office who has previously taken an oath to protect the Constitution -- including a member of Congress -- who has "engaged in insurrection" against the United States or "given aid or comfort" to its "enemies."
