Who Is Sarah Matthews' husband? Former Deputy White House Press Secretary Testified

Sarah Matthews was the former deputy secretary during the last days of the Trump Administration.

Matthews resigned from her post at the White House following the January 6 coup attempt of the Capital Riot. She recently testified about the January 6 coup to the House Select Committee.

Matthews started working at the Executive Office of the President in June 2020. She worked in this position until the next day of the January 6 coup. 

According to Matthews, she was present at the scene that occurred in the office where a group of rioters entered the Capitol and turned everything upside down. Following the incident, she and many employees resigned, fearing for their lives.

The former deputy secretary is the Communications Director at the U.S. House of Representatives' Select Committee on the Climate Crisis in Washinton D.C. She began this position in February 2021.

Who is Sarah Matthews' Husband?

Sarah Matthews' is not currently married nor in a relationship as far as the public knows.

Matthews has not let her private life leak into the public and has made the new platform she has built due to her popularity following the congressional hearings be about her views and her politics. Her Twitter has grown to 22K followers following the congressional hearings, and she has quickly specified that her Twitter houses her thoughts alone.

A quick look through her Twitter shows that although she might not be directly serving the White House at the moment, she is a very active participant in political discourse. Perhaps after seeing what anger and fury can do at the January 6 coup, her rhetoric is a subdued yet stern one that, although critical of the Biden Administration, seeks to work with it rather than criticize it. 

Sarah Matthews' Parents and Background

Sarah Matthews was born to parents Jeffrey A. Matthews and Heidi R. Matthews in North Canton, Ohio.

She was born on April 20, 1995. Her father is a Republican political official, and she has a sister named Emily C. Hyde. Matthews is a proud Ohioan and carries a lot of pride for her home state.

According to Matthews, she was always interested in politics from a young age but veered towards communications or media relations when it came to a career. She pursued her undergraduate education at Kent University and received a Bachelor's degree in Public Relations.

While in university, she was also a part of the group the College Republicans, which gave her a platform to foster her passions and combine this passion with politics to build the career she would soon embark upon.

Matthews has stated that she does not regret working for the Trump administration but was shocked and appalled by the January 6 coup as she had wanted a peaceful transfer of power. After she resigned, she wished nothing but the best for the upcoming Biden administration.

Sarah Matthews At The January 6 Hearings

Sarah Matthews and other office members testified on July 21, 2022, about the scene during the coup.

According to Matthews, supporters of Trump stormed Congress to stop them from validating President Joe Biden's election win. She also described how Trump was pleased to see the extremist rally held outside the White House the night before the attack.

Though still not a critic of Trump, she has mentioned that the former president failed to act his part during the coup and has criticized him for his inaction. She stated that Trump could have immediately made a statement condemning the coup but chose not to.
