Jan. 6 Hearings to Begin as More Revelations Show How Trump Attempted to Orchestrate a Coup

The House committee investigating the deadly January 6 attack on the Capitol will hold its first public hearing on Thursday after 10 months of meeting in private. The hearing will be the first of eight and is expected to draw on roughly 1,000 depositions and interviews. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Will Bunch says the success of the hearings will hinge on whether the committee can convince the public that the January 6 attack wasn't just a one-off event" but rather part of an ongoing threat to democracy." Bunch also speaks about the Pennsylvania Senate race, which he says is life or death for democracy," as well as the mass shooting in Philadelphia on Saturday, which left three dead and 11 injured.
