Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes wants to testify live before Jan. 6 select committee
CBSN
An attorney for Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes says that Rhodes will offer to testify under oath before the House Jan. 6 select committee but will ask that a series of demands be met first.
Phil Linder, who is serving as Rhodes attorney in the Jan. 6 investigation and Rhodes' criminal seditious conspiracy case, said Rhodes will demand any committee testimony take place live on national television.
"He'll do it under oath, but he wants it to be part of a public hearing, similar to the previous committee hearings," Linder said. Linder said Rhodes wants similar national exposure for his testimony.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
