The U.S. is preparing to hold is first primetime televised hearing into the January 6 Capitol Riots

The House Committee is set out to expose President Trump’s plot to tarnish the 2020 election

The Panel investigating the January 6 2021 Capitol Riots is under pressure to establish the depth of Trump’s apparent conspiracy.

In its first-of-several primetime events, the Panel is seeking to showcase how the riots were not a rally that got out of hand, but rather the culmination of weeks of deception from President Trump.

The hearing will also provide a summary of the panel’s findings so far.

But Republicans believe the investigation is a smear campaign against Trump.

“This [Jan. 6] committee is not about seeking the truth. It is a smear campaign against President Donald Trump, against Republican members of Congress, and against Trump voters across this country.”
REPUBLICAN ELISE STEFANIK

The committee has not yet provided a list of witnesses. But it’s believed former Vice President will skip the hearing, but his former chief of staff will appear.

Recorded testimony from Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner may also be showcased.

Select committees are established by Congress to investigate a specific issue. The House Committee established the January 6 hearings, with the support of two Republicans.
