Jan. 6 committee is back: Hearing to explore Capitol attack findings after eventful summer

The House committee investigating the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, hasn’t announced the subject of Thursday’s hearing, but they have plenty of options to discuss since a series of blockbuster hearings in June and July.

Over the last few months, a series of revelations about the Secret Service included the erasure of texts from Jan. 6 and the abrupt retirement of a key official. 

Committee members have also called for more scrutiny of subjects the panel touched on in the past. The subjects include Cabinet member discussions about potentially removing then-President Donald Trump from office, the Trump campaign’s recruitment of fake electors for the 2020 election and Trump’s fundraising after the election.
