The Pentagon said later on Saturday that Esper and Milley had not refused to testify.
"Secretary of Defense Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Milley have not 'refused' to testify before the HASC as some are reporting," Chief Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement.
"The DOD legislative affairs team remains in discussion with the HASC on this request. In the meantime, DOD has committed to provide Army Secretary McCarthy, Army Chief of Staff Gen. McConville, and DC National Guard Commanding General Maj. Gen. Walker to brief the committee next week on the presence of the National Guard in Washington, D.C. this past week," Hoffman said.
Politico was first to report Esper and Milley's refusal to appear before the committee next week.
