The January 6 Hearings Begin

“More than 1,000 interviews and 140,000 documents later, the House committee that has spent nearly a year investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol will begin to present its findings to the American public with a hearing Thursday night,” the Washington Post reports.

“The hearing, which broadcast networks will clear their prime-time schedule to air, is the first in a series this month that will together lay out evidence not only of what happened on the day of the attack, but also in the two months that preceded it as then-president Donald Trump led an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.”

Associated Press: “Thursday’s prime-time hearing will open with eyewitness testimony from the first police officer pummeled in the mob riot and from a documentary filmmaker who recorded the melee, and it will feature the committee’s accounts from Trump’s aides and family members of the deadly siege that put U.S. democracy at risk.”
