The Home committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol on Monday abruptly scheduled a listening to for Tuesday afternoon to listen to what the panel known as “lately obtained proof” and take witness testimony.
The listening to is scheduled for 1 p.m., in accordance with a information launch issued by the committee, through which it supplied no different particulars concerning the shock session.
The panel has held a collection of hearings this month laying out the findings of its almost yearlong investigation, but it surely had not been scheduled to have any extra periods this week.
The committee is planning at the very least two extra hearings for July, in accordance with its chairman, Consultant Bennie Thompson, Democrat of Mississippi. These hearings are anticipated to element how a mob of violent extremists attacked the Capitol and the way President Donald J. Trump did nothing to name off the violence for greater than three hours.
Earlier hearings have targeted on the strain campaigns Mr. Trump launched in opposition to the Justice Division, state officers and his personal vp, as he sought to cling to energy.
