I trust “Source 1

Step-by-step explanation:

I would trust the Source 1 i.e., the “Sworn testimony by American Sergeant in Congressional hearings in 1969” more because a sworn testimony is a gold evidence for the Congressional hearings. It won’t affect a person i.e., the Sergeant in any way. Maybe the testimony can get corrupted by lying, forcing and constraining, and the shaking the human memory. But in a speech by the General can affect his reputation as he can hid the truth and lie in his speech. So, the sworn testimony is more reliable than the speech.
