According to Monday evening reports, Sarah Matthews is going to testify at the House committee investigating the Capitol attack.
Matthews, who served as the deputy press secretary in the Trump administration, resigned hours after the insurrection at the Capitol, where a pro- Trump mob sought to stop Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election results.
The Associated Press and CNN reported Monday that she and Matthew Pottinger, former deputy national security adviser, will testify at the last currently scheduled January 6 hearing.
We know a lot about Matthews.
Matthews is not known to the public.
Matthews was a spokeswoman for Trump's reelection campaign.

When she became the White House press secretary, McEnany took Matthews with her.
The communications director for Republicans on the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis is a 27 year old woman.
The one-year anniversary of the insurrection was called one of the worst days in American history by MSNBC host Chris Matthews.
Matthews said that the events on the 6th were a coup attempt and that former President Trump failed to meet the moment.
She said that it might be easier to ignore or whitewash the events of that day for political convenience.
On January 6, she resigned.
Matthews was one of the White House staffers who resigned.
I was proud of the policies we enacted. She said in a statement that she was deeply disturbed by what she had seen.

Matthews supports Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide.
Matthews defended her former colleague, Hutchinson, after she testified before the House select committee about the riot.
She said that anyone downplaying Cassidy Hutchinson's role or her access in the West Wing either doesn't understand how the Trump White House worked or is trying to undermine her because they are scared of how damning the testimony is.
She testified before the panel in January.
Matthews appeared before the committee.
According to a source familiar with the matter, Matthews was asked about the White House activities on the day of the attack.
On June 16 the committee played a clip from Matthews's testimony in which she commented on Trump's attack on his VP.
Matthews said that Trump was like "pouring gasoline on the fire" when he said that Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done.
