The US House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol will hold its first public hearing on Thursday evening.
Formed nearly a year ago, the committee has been investigating the circumstances behind Capitol riot and those who influenced the more than 800 people criminally charged in an attempt to stop Congress from certifying President Joe Biden’s win.
The House of Representatives approved the creation of the committee by a vote of 222-190 on June 30, 2021.
The committee will begin to reveal its findings at the hearing Thursday, the first of eight planned for June.
