The House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol is taking a summer break after its latest hearing Thursday night. The select committee's prime-time hearing stretched almost three hours and featured two key live witnesses, Matthew Pottinger and Sarah Matthews, both of whom resigned from the Trump administration on the day that a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to disrupt the certification of President Biden's election. In all, the panel has spent more than 15 hours presenting their findings over eight hearings this summer, culminating in Thursday night's presentation. Here's a detailed breakdown of what we learned from each hearing. |
