The bipartisan Jan. 6 Committee is prepared to put evidence on the record for the first time Thursday evening, as part of its investigation into the attack by former President Trump's supporters at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
The nine-member committee is made up of seven Democrats and two Republicans. The panel has collected extensive evidence from more than 1,000 witnesses, including testimony from Trump family members and former White House staff.
"These hearings will be a chance for the country to come together to rally around the truth and unite around the rule of law. We owe it to the officers who lost their lives and the officers who were injured," said Congressman Pete Aguilar, a California Democrat. The big question the committee is hoping to answer, is whether there was a conspiracy to overturn Biden's legitimate election victory and disrupt the nation's peaceful transfer of power with President Trump's false claim of voter fraud.
"What I wish they would really have a primetime hearing on is inflation, the rise of crime. The rise of crime in this country as well and the border itself," said McCarthy.
