It was a dramatic day as the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol held what could be its final public hearing. Members hope to release their findings before the midterm elections next month. Thursday's hearing, like the ones before, was particularly damning for former President Trump, as committee members revealed never-before-seen footage of lawmakers as they reacted real-time to the ambush by the former president's supporters who hoped to disrupt the certification of President Biden's 2020 election win. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took center stage, requesting military back-up and other support. The committee also went into details about how Trump was reacting as rioters stormed the Capitol, forcing lawmakers and former Vice President Pence to seek shelter. The Hill's Brett Samuels and Rebecca Beitsch have all the details here. Here are a few key highlights from Thursday: |
