The House January 6 select committee announced that it would postpone what was expected to be its final investigative hearing scheduled for Wednesday over concerns about a hurricane and as it considers how best to present a number of unresolved questions surrounding the US Capitol attack.

In light of Hurricane Ian bearing down on parts of Florida, we have decided to postpone tomorrow's proceedings," the panel's chairman Bennie Thompson and the vice-chair Liz Cheney said in a joint statement. We're praying for the safety of all those in the storm's path."
