Here’s When You Can Expect The Next Capitol Riot Hearings

Sixth House Committee Hearing Investigating the January 6, 2021 Capitol Attack was stunning in his revelations and vivid in his descriptions of conversations and actions at the White House on and before that date.

The June 28 hearing came as a surprise. The committee would not hold any other hearings in June.

The seventh January 6 committee hearing will take place on July 12 at 10 a.m. EST. Commissioner Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., told Face the Nation that the subject of the next hearing will be “the efforts to rally the crowd on Jan. 6.” The commission will investigate who participated in the riot — including far-right white nationalist groups — who funded it and how it was organized, Schiff said.

Representative Jamie Raskin, D-Md., joked that reporters shouldn’t go on a long vacation when asked when the next hearing might take place.

“We’ve kept you on your toes,” Raskin told reporters on Tuesday. “We call hearings at our discretion.”

The committee has completed six hearings to date. Here’s what happened to each:

Day 1: The first hearing on June 9 described a “sprawling, multi-step conspiracy” to stop the peaceful transfer of power led by Trump. Read the takeaway.
Day 2: On June 13, Trump associates and former Attorney General Bill Barr gave an explosive testimony describing how they advised Trump not to declare victory on election night and how he ignored evidence that he had lost the election. Read the takeaway.
Day 3: Thursday’s hearing revealed efforts by Trump’s lawyers and allies to convince Pence to undo the election, despite knowing those efforts were likely illegal.

Day 6: Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson portrayed Donald Trump as reckless and unhinged, describing how he knew those at his January 6 rally were armed, but wanted them to march to the Capitol anyway — and he didn’t. join them. Hutchinson also revealed that White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows asked for a pardon after the Capitol riots, along with Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani.
