Who is Walter E Piatt?
''In early December 2021, Colonel Earl G. Matthews, a Trump appointee, released a rebuttal to the DoDIG report that accused LTG Piatt of making willful distortions of the events of January 6, describing Piatt and General Charles A. Flynn as "absolute and unmitigated liars" and of giving "perjured testimony before Congress."[18]
Fallout
Piatt was once the leading candidate to take over as the commanding general of United States Army Futures Command, and appointment to the rank of general.[19] He had received the recommendation from several top defense officials. However, he was rejected by President Biden[20] due to his handling of National Guard deployment during the January 6 attacks on the Capitol.[19][20] ''
