The next hearing on January 6th is scheduled for Thursday, July 21, at 8 p.m. prime time, the committee investigating the Capitol riots has announced.
The hearing is expected to detail the 187 minutes between leaving the stage at the Ellipse in front of the South Lawn of the White House on Jan. 6 and his first public response to the attack on Congress.
The previous hearings have attempted to outline how Mr. Trump pushed the conspiracy theory in such a way Joe Bidens victory in the election had been won by conspiracy and manipulation, knowing it was not true, and ignoring his closest advisers in favor of a conspiracy with cronies to try to overturn the result with a riotous show of force.
“We want to paint as clear a picture as possible of what happened,” Mr. Thompson told reporters before the trial began.
“The public needs to know what to think. We just have to show clearly what happened on January 6.”
Hearings typically last between two and two and a half hours, with one of the committee members conducting the hearings, but attorneys familiar with the sensitive material conduct most witness interviews.
Most of those who appeared were summoned.
Once the hearings are complete, the panel is expected to issue a final report detailing its findings and making recommendations before the November midterm.
As we have seen, the content and schedule of the hearings are subject to change, but you can follow the latest updates on The Independent website, via our live blog and regular breaking news.
