Next Hearing to Focus on Trump’s Failure to Quell the Mob

“The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot said its next hearing will focus on how former President Donald Trump’s failure to quell the violent mob for several hours showed a ‘supreme dereliction of duty,'” CNBC reports.

“The committee’s eighth public hearing, expected to air in prime time on July 21, marks its last scheduled presentation of evidence implicating Trump in a multi-pronged conspiracy to overturn his 2020 election loss that culminated in the deadly invasion.”

“The final hearing will highlight the more-than-three-hour gap between Trump’s departure from a rally that preceded the Jan. 6, 2021, riot, and his eventual call for the mob to go home.”
