唐纳德·特朗普的白宫又多了两名助手预计将于1月6日在众议院委员会作证在公开听证会上，有消息称，这次是前总统的前发言人和他以前的一名安全顾问。
知情人士向美国广播公司新闻(ABC News)证实，前白宫副新闻秘书萨拉·马修斯(Sarah Matthews)和特朗普政府时期的国家安全委员会成员马修·波廷杰(Matthew Wilson)将在周四的委员会听证会上发言。
他们计划的出场时间是此前由CNN报道.
马修斯和波廷杰都在2021年1月6日辞去了他们在白宫的职务，此前一群亲特朗普的暴徒在国会大厦发生了骚乱。
委员会发言人和马修斯或波廷杰的代表都没有回应ABC新闻。
特朗普的许多其他顾问和助手已经通过记录的闭门证词或公开会议与该委员会进行了交谈。这些人包括他的女儿和女婿伊万卡·特朗普和贾里德·库什纳;他的白宫顾问帕特·西波隆;他的前司法部长比尔·巴尔等等。
委员会成员表示，周四的听证会是该小组经过一年的调查后，自6月以来举行的第八次最新会议，将重点关注特朗普白宫对叛乱的反应。
“你会听到，特朗普那天从未拿起电话命令他的政府提供帮助，”怀俄明州共和党副主席利兹·切尼(Liz Cheney)上周表示。“这不是模棱两可。他没有打电话给军方。国防部长没有接到命令。他没有打电话给他的司法部长。他没有和国土安全部联系。(副总统)迈克·彭斯做了所有这些事情。”
将共同领导周四听证会的委员会成员、众议员伊莱恩·卢里亚(Elaine Luria)表示，上周告诉《GMA 3》该计划是“度过那187分钟”——正如委员会描述的那样，这是特朗普1月6日在白宫附近的一次演讲中激怒他的支持者，后来发表公开声明试图平息骚乱之间的差距。
弗吉尼亚州民主党人、海军老兵卢里亚将与众议员亚当·金辛格·里尔一起主持听证会。，告诉“GMA 3”，美国人可以期待最详细的骚乱时间表。
“金辛格先生和我计划度过这187分钟。在(前总统特朗普)离开舞台、发表这些煽动性言论并给人们留下印象的这段时间里发生了什么...他要自己和这群人一起游行到国会大厦，”卢里亚说。
委员会主席、密西西比州民主党人本尼·汤普森上周表示，本周的听证会预计将是“目前的最后一次”。他星期一说，一旦委员会准备在今年晚些时候提交报告，将举行更多的听证会。
特朗普否认有不当行为，并一再抨击该委员会是片面的，有政治动机。
2 more Trump aides testifying for Jan. 6 committee: Ex-spokeswoman, NSC member will appear Thursday
Two more aides in Donald Trump's White Houseare expected to testify before the House Jan. 6 committeeduring its public hearings, sources say -- this time an ex-spokeswoman for the former president as well as one of his previous security advisers.
Former deputy White House press secretary Sarah Matthews and Matthew Pottinger, a member of the National Security Council during the Trump administration, are slated to speak at the committee’s hearing on Thursday, sources familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News.
Their planned appearances werepreviously reported by CNN.
Both Matthews and Pottinger resigned from their positions in the White House on Jan. 6, 2021, in the wake of the Capitol rioting by a pro-Trump mob.
Neither a committee spokesperson nor representatives for Matthews or Pottinger responded to ABC News.
Numerous other Trump advisers and aides have already spoken with the committee either in recorded closed-door depositions or the public sessions. Those include his daughter and son-in-law, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner; his White House counsel Pat Cipollone; his former Attorney General Bill Barr and more.

Committee members have said Thursday's hearing -- the eighth of the latest sessions held by the panel since June, following a year-long investigation -- will focus on the Trump White House's reaction to the insurrection as it unfolded.
"You will hear that Trump never picked up the phone that day to order his administration to help," Vice Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said last week. "This is not ambiguous. He did not call the military. The secretary of defense received no order. He did not call his attorney general. He did not talk to the Department of Homeland Security. [Vice President] Mike Pence did all of those things."
Rep. Elaine Luria, a member of the committee who will be co-leading Thursday's hearing,told "GMA 3" last weekthat the plan was to "go through that 187 minutes" -- the gap, as the committee describes it, between when Trump incensed his supporters at a speech near the White House on Jan. 6 and later sent public statements trying to tamp down the rioting.
Luria, a Virginia Democrat and Navy veteran who will be leading the hearing with Rep. Adam Kinzinger R-Ill., told "GMA 3" that Americans can expect the most detailed timeline of the riot.
"Mr. Kinzinger and I plan to go through that 187 minutes. What happened between the time that [former President Trump] left the stage, gave these inflammatory remarks and gave people the impression ... that he was going to himself march with this crowd to the Capitol," Luria said.
This week's hearing is expected to be "the last one at this point," the committee chair, Mississippi Democrat Bennie Thompson, said last week. He said Monday that more hearings will be held once the committee is prepared to present its report later in the year.
Trump has denied wrongdoing and has repeatedly assailed the committee as one-sided and politically motivated.
