January 6 hearings

The January 6 Committee has scheduled a hearing for Tuesday, a surprise move at a time when Congress is out of session.

“And this is the sitting president of the United States saying this in the White House. And that was actually very scary,” Holder said. In the three-part documentary set to premiere this summer on Discovery+, Holder testified that at one point Trump said that “he was now trying to find one judge that agreed with his position” that the election was stolen from him. Holder gave a deposition to the January 6th Committee on Thursday over the documentary he made about Trump. The filmmaker said he had been shooting footage at Trump’s rally that morning at the Ellipse as well as when he went with his director of photography to the chaos unfolding at the Capitol.

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol will hold its next public hearing on Tuesday, June 28 at 1 pm.

The committee, which had planned at least two additional hearings next month, had not been scheduled to meet this week.

She made clear that the members of Congress were “inclined to go with White House guidance” about directing a crowd to the Capitol. Ms. Hutchinson’s testimony also suggested that at least a handful of Republican lawmakers were concerned about criminal liability after participating in the effort to invalidate the election results. Ms. Hutchinson has provided the panel with some of its biggest revelations to date, all made during videotaped closed-door testimony, portions of which have been shown or alluded to in previous hearings. The panel has yet to hear directly from Mr. Trump or Mr. Pence, though lawmakers have left open the possibility of calling either. Four of those members have denied doing so, with some questioning Ms. Hutchinson by name. At the end of each hearing, lawmakers have issued calls for more people to come forward and offer public testimony. Spreading gossip and lies is exactly what the Jan. 6 Witch Hunt Committee is all about.” Mr. Biggs similarly said that Ms. Hutchinson was “mistaken,” and that her testimony was edited “deceptively.” Here are the main themes that have emerged so far: The hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Capitol Hill, according to a news release issued by the committee, in which it provided no other details about the session. Ms. Cheney has said the committee received testimony that when Mr. Trump learned of the mob’s threats to hang Mr. Pence, he said, “Maybe our supporters have the right idea” and added that Mr. Pence “deserves it.” On July 16, 1973 an unannounced witness appeared: Alex Butterfield, who testified to Nixon’s secret taping system — forever changing history!” And in recent days, the committee has indicated that it has gathered crucial new information that bears further exploration.

Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and every lawmaker who “voted to reject the electoral college vote submissions of Arizona and Pennsylvania,” according to evidence presented by the committee. Tuesday’s hearing will be the sixth public session for the committee this month. Last week, British filmmaker Alex Holder met with committee investigators behind closed doors and provided over 10 hours of footage to the panel from interviews with Trump, his adult children, former vice president Mike Pence, and from the attack on the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob. The committee has remained in negotiations with potential witnesses to appear publicly while the hearings have been ongoing. The news was so closely guarded that even some senior committee staff and aides to lawmakers were kept out of the loop as of Monday afternoon.

A source familiar with the committee's plans had told CNN earlier Monday that the panel was concerned about the security of a potential witness ahead of Tuesday's hearing. by the committee just 24 hours before it was set to begin. But her live testimony would mark a significant moment in the committee's series of hearings as Hutchinson has long been considered one of its most consequential witnesses due to her proximity to former President Donald Trump's then-White House chief of staff. "He wanted Mr. Clark -- Mr. Jeff Clark -- to take over the Department of Justice," she said of Perry in a clip of her deposition that was played at a hearing last week. During one hearing last week, the committee played a video clip of Hutchinson testifying that Meadows and former President Donald Trump's onetime attorney Rudy Giuliani were involved in early conversations about putting forward fake slates of electors -- a core tenet of the broader effort to overturn the 2020 election.
