After a bombshell session Thursday, the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol will focus on former President Donald Trump’s Big Lie that the 2020 presidential election had been stolen from him.
Unlike the June 9 prime-time session, Monday’s hearing will be at 10 a.m. Eastern time. As Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney, the Republican vice chair of the committee, remarked at the June 9 hearing, the June 13 session will include evidence that Trump “engaged in a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information” that the election had been stolen — even though advisers and allies told him repeatedly he had lost.
