WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia on Friday became the first Republican lawmaker to testify under oath about her actions leading up to and during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Greene has not been accused of wrongdoing in court or by the House committee investigating what led to the riot. She immediately condemned the Jan. 6 attack and has repeatedly said she was not involved. No evidence ties her directly to the violence at the Capitol.
But her public testimony in state administrative court, in response to a challenge to her eligibility to run for a second term, is being closely watched for potential details that might emerge about events leading to the riot, including information the House Jan. 6 select committee may not have because it has not subpoenaed members of Congress.
