Hearing to focus on Donald Trump's actions following his attendance at rally that preceded attackRepublican Rep. Liz Cheney and Democractic Rep. Bennie Thompson are seen in Washington, D.C., last month at the second hearing held by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The hearing, which is aimed at reaching a broad U.S. television audience during prime viewing hours, will be the eighth and final scheduled public one to take place, although the committee has suggested it could hold more in August. Some committee members, including Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, have argued that former U.S. president Donald Trump should be held criminally liable for allegedly encouraging the attack on the Capitol by his supporters, in which several people died.The hearing is expected to be led by Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria and Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger.
It will focus on Trump's actions on Jan. 6, specifically between his departure from the rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol and his eventual call for rioters to return home three hours later.
