(CNN) Former acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller is expected to tell Congress Wednesday that he was concerned sending US troops to Capitol on January 6 would have encouraged the conspiracy of a possible "military coup," according to his prepared testimony obtained by CNN . Former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, at the same hearing, will reaffirm that the Justice Department did not find evidence of widespread voter fraud that could have changed the outcome of the 2020 election. The military has been criticized for not responding faster to aid US Capitol Police in pushing back protestors. Rosen took over for Attorney General William Barr, who left in December 2020 amid clashes with Trump over the Justice Department's investigation into alleged voter fraud. He adds that he believed the Justice Department was "reasonably prepared for contingencies" before the January 6 attack, while noting there was "uncertainty" over how many people would take part in the demonstrations that led to the insurrection at the Capitol.
