Capitol attack panel scores two major wins as it inches closer to Trump’s inner circle

House select committee seizes momentum as it embarks on final push to conclude evidence-gathering phase of inquiry

The House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack is moving to capitalize on new momentum as it embarks on its final push to complete the roughly one hundred remaining depositions and conclude the evidence-gathering phase of the inquiry.

The panel has scored two major wins in recent days: more than six hours of testimony from Donald Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner, and a conclusion by a federal judge that the former president committed felonies to overturn the 2020 election.
