The congressional hearings on the Capitol riot by Donald Trump supporters will spotlight testimony by the former president's top aides and family members as a House committee seeks to persuade Americans that the riot was an orchestrated attack on democracy
After almost a year of investigation, the U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack moves into a new phase on Thursday with a prime-time hearing that will include videotaped testimony from senior Trump White House officials and campaign officials, committee aides said.
The session is scheduled for 8 p.m. EDT on Thursday, aimed at capturing the attention of as many television viewers as possible. Four people died the day of the attack, one fatally shot by police and the others of natural causes. More than 100 police officers were injured, and one died the next day. Four officers later died by suicide. The Capitol sustained millions of dollars in damage."Our democracy is on more tenuous ground than it was on Jan. 6," Representative Adam Schiff, one of seven panel Democrats, told reporters on Wednesday.
There are two Republican members on the committee, Representatives Liz Cheney, its vice chair, and Adam Kinzinger. Cheney will join the panel's Democratic chairman, Representative Bennie Thompson, in making remarks during the hearing laying out the panel's case.
