What to know about the public January 6 committee hearings

House panel investigating the Capitol attack will hold six public hearings where it will unveil new evidence against Trump

The House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack is scheduled on Thursday to hold the first of six public hearings where it will unveil new evidence collected against Donald Trump and a range of other operatives over the course of its 10-month inquiry.

The congressional investigation into the events of January 6, when a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol to stop the certification of Joe Biden's election win, has said it has evidence to suggest Trump violated the law to overturn the 2020 election results.
