The House Jan. 6 Committee is considering holding a public hearing this month as part of its investigation into the Capitol attack, Punchbowl reports.
The committee is reportedly looking at Sept. 28 as a possible date for the hearing.
Panel members will hammer out the next steps during a retreat next Tuesday, according to Punchbowl.
There’ve been eight public committee hearings so far. The last one was held on July 21, during which the panel laid out how then-President Donald Trump did nothing to rein in the MAGA supporters that he had riled up — even as they were screaming about hanging then-Vice President Mike Pence as they ransacked the Capitol.
Not much else has emerged from the committee since the last hearing.
However, committee member Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Liz Cheney, the vice chair of the committee, said last month that the panel is in talks with Pence’s legal counsel about the ex-vice president potentially testifying.
Additionally, the committee has obtained two years’ worth of text messages from far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ phone, according to CNN. The committee requested the phone records from a lawyer representing the Sandy Hook families who were suing Jones for defamation.
The lawyer, Mark Bankston, had gotten the texts from Jones’ defense attorney in what appeared to be a massive blunder.
I do hope they keep this in the forefront of the public’s mind. We need to hammer home the treasonous nature of today’s Republican Party.
22 days away from the seditious conspiracy trial of Elmer and his Oath Keeper pals.
I hope Lindell’s texts provide a wealth of information.
Oh boy, is this great…
I think the continued prosecution of the Mar-a-Lago file retrieval is doing just fine to point that out. The GQP has too many rebuttal points for J6, but they are coming up empty on TFG’s apparent treason.
