Kash starts out with this statement, he sounds pretty pissed:
The Witness. Members of the select committee and staff, good afternoon.
am here today because I am willing and able to share with you and the American people the truth about the events of January 6th, including the Department of Defense's preparation for and response to the unrest at the Capitol.
I am and will remain proud of my 16 years in public service, including during the Trump administration. Let me say unequivocally that I have no information about and never would have participated in any attempt to improperly maintain power following the conclusion of President Trump's term.
I'm also proud to have been the first person of color to serve in several of the positions that I held in government.
I want to state for the record that I'm here voluntarily, and the subpoena served
on me on September 24th was not necessary to secure my appearance. The committee could've contact me excuse me contacted me privately and asked me to voluntarily provide information as it has done for dozens, if not hundreds, of other witnesses.
Witness: Instead I…
Mr. Sofer: Slow down for the stenographer.
The Witness. Sorry. I should know that. Instead, I first learned that I had been issued a subpoena without prior reach from the committee when members of the media contacted me on the evening of September 23rd on my personal cell phone. I had still yet to be served with a subpoena or any notice of it.
I was subsequently the victim of vile, racist, and physically threatening messages.
To quote some, "Pack your fucking carpet bag and start swimming, you fucking
treasonous bitch. America is going to chew you up and they'll slice that fucking sand monkey neck of yours in prison on day one. They always need a couple token niggers to use. We may even be able to execute you bastards, cut your fucking head off the way they do in your country. You are a traitor and will pay," end quote.
These threats have been reported to the FBI and marked as exhibit – our exhibit 1
for entry into the record.
