WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Jan. 6 committee will hold its final hearing of the summer in prime time. Today’s hearing aims to vividly make the case that Donald Trump’s lies about a stolen election fueled the grisly Capitol riot last year.
The panel will delve into 187 minutes in which it says Trump did nothing to stop the violence but instead “gleefully” watched on television at the White House. The two-hour hearing will feature live testimony from two former White House aides. Democratic congressman Jamie Raskin says it will be “a profound moment of reckoning for America.”
