The session will focus on presenting the summary of the facts of an investigation that lasted more than a year and collected more than 130,000 documents and more than 1,000 testimonials
The Congressional Commission investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol and former President Trump’s attempt to cancel the 2020 election is holding what will likely be its last public hearing tomorrow before the release of the final report detailing its conclusions and recommendations. The hearing is broader in scope than the previous one and will focus on summarizing the facts of an investigation that lasted more than a year and collected more than 130,000 documents, as well as the testimonies of more than 1,000 witnesses.
Committee chair Bennie Thompson said the panel will show crucial footage and key witness statements on Wednesday that have not been used in previous hearings. The panel will include excerpts from the documentary by Trump ally Roger Stone. The Commission plans to finalize an interim report next month, before the final file is published by the end of the year. During the commission’s public hearings earlier this summer, there were explosive testimonies from more than 20 key witnesses, including former White House and Justice Department officials.
The commission, which continues its extensive investigation to establish the timeline of Trump’s attempts to interfere in the election well beyond January 6, has issued new subpoenas and interviewed witnesses since its last public hearing in July last year. Among those named is Wisconsin Legislative Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, with whom the Commission wants to speak to learn details of a July phone call from Trump in which former President urged Vos to act to reverse the president’s victory. make Joe Biden in the state.
Vos, in the final days of his re-election campaign, has sued the Commission to block the subpoena, arguing that the investigation into his conversation with Trump is beyond the scope of the Jan. 6 events and harms his reelection. The Commission has also asked former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, to give his testimony voluntarily.
Separately, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, agreed last week to testify before the commission — avoiding a subpoena — about her involvement in the plot to keep Trump in power. after his death. .
“Ginni” Thomas sent text messages to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, emails to coup mastermind attorney John Eastman, as well as state legislators from Arizona and Wisconsin as part of the Republican pressure campaign to push for the victory of Biden deny.
The far-right activism of the wife of a sitting Supreme Court judge, both through her own firm Liberty Consulting, and other extremist groups that receive shadow money, such as CNP Action and Turning Point USA, underscores the serious and untenable conflict of interest with her husband’s position. Clarence Thomas on court, as well as possible criminal ramifications for his involvement in the coup plot.
Other witnesses are trying to block the commission’s subpoenas in federal court, including former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. A lawsuit that is not clear could be resolved before the end of the year. Meadows’ 2,000 text messages to the Commission reveal what is believed to be the coup attempt’s roadmap, a plot involving all three branches of government, including the Pentagon.
This week, the incident came to light from a January 6 call from the White House to one of those involved in the Capitol attack, as well as a message between Meadows and one of the insurgents. Wednesday is the final public hearing for Congresswoman and Committee Vice-Chairman Liz Cheney after she lost her re-election scoop in August to a Trump candidate. Cheney and Representative Adam Kinzinger, who is also leaving Congress, are the only two House Republicans on the panel.
