US

13:00 ET 18:00 BST: The January 6 select committee will shortly convene for the seventh public hearing investigating the January, 2021, unrest on Capitol Hill.

  • The hearing will be livestreamed here: https://january6th.house.gov/
  • According to Politico, today's hearing “plans to make its most complex case yet - that [former president] Donald Trump’s words and actions influenced extremists and brought them to the steps of the Capitol.”
  • A central piece of evidence will be a Trump tweet on December 19, 2020: “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!”
  • A primetime final hearing scheduled for Thursday has been postponed. According to Bloomberg, the Thursday hearing was "to explore the former president’s actions and activities on Jan. 6 during the 187 minutes the committee it says it took between when the Capitol attack began and Trump tweeted for supporters to go home."
