这众议院1月6日的委员会据知情人士透露,预计将于美国东部时间7月21日晚上8点举行下一次也是目前的最后一次听证会。
听证会尚未正式宣布,也不清楚它是否会成为最终的公开听证会,尽管成员们表示他们期待如此。
当周二下午被问及下一次听证会时,委员会主席本尼·汤普森说。,表示这将是“此时此刻的最后一个。”
汤普森周二告诉记者,在下周的听证会后,任何进一步的公开会议都将基于调查人员获得的新信息。
包括两名共和党人在内的该小组已经对2021年1月6日的国会大厦骚乱进行了大约一年的调查,并自上个月初以来举行了一系列听证会。
在星期二听证会结束——关注1月6日之前混乱且有时激烈的日子,以及前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)对极右团体的影响,以及这些实体和他圈子里一些人之间的关系——副主席利兹·切尼(Liz Cheney,R-Wyo)表示,下一次听证会将“分分钟一分钟”地分析1月6日事件发生时白宫正在发生的事情。
切尼说:“你会听到特朗普那天从未拿起电话命令他的政府提供帮助。”“这不是模棱两可。他没有打电话给军方。国防部长没有接到命令。他没有打电话给他的司法部长。他没有和国土安全部联系。(副总统)迈克·彭斯做了所有这些事情。”
根据公开证词以及过去证词和其他材料的片段,到目前为止,听证会披露的内容包括特朗普计划以某种方式推翻他在2020年选举中的失败的大量新细节,以及他知道他的选举欺诈指控是毫无根据的,他知道他的一些支持者在叛乱当天持有武器,他知道他的助手提出的各种计划是令人反感的——如果不是非法的话。
特朗普否认有不当行为,并一再抨击该委员会是片面的,有政治动机。
他有也攻击了这个角色其中许多人是他的前助手和律师。
另外,司法部一直在密切关注听证会。司法部曾起诉过与1月6日相关的各种案件。
预计该委员会将提出一份最终报告。
Jan. 6 committee sets next -- and possibly final -- hearing, to detail riot reaction 'minute by minute'
TheHouse's Jan. 6 committeeis expected to hold its next and -- for now -- final hearing on July 21 at 8 p.m. ET, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The hearing has not yet been officially announced and it's unclear if it will end up being the final public hearing, though members say they expect as much.
When asked Tuesday afternoon about the next hearing, Committee Chair Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., said it would be "the last one at this point."
Thompson told reporters on Tuesday that after next week's hearing, any further public sessions would be based on new information investigators receive.
The panel, which includes two Republicans, has been investigating the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, for about a year and has been holding a series of hearings since early last month.
At theconclusion of Tuesday's hearing-- which focused on the chaotic and sometimes heated days before Jan. 6, as well as former President Donald Trump's influence over far-right groups and ties between those entities and some in his circle -- Vice Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said the next hearing will analyze "minute by minute" what was going on at the White House as the events of Jan. 6 unfolded.
"You will hear that Trump never picked up the phone that day to order his administration to help," Cheney said. "This is not ambiguous. He did not call the military. The secretary of defense received no order. He did not call his attorney general. He did not talk to the Department of Homeland Security. [Vice President] Mike Pence did all of those things."
Among the revelations from the hearings so far, according to public testimony, as well as clips from past depositions and other materials, were extensive new details about Trump's plan to somehow overturn his 2020 election defeat, as well as his knowledge that his election fraud claims were baseless, his knowledge that some of his supporters were armed the day of the insurrection and his knowledge that various plans proposed by his aides were objectionable -- if not illegal.
Trump has denied wrongdoing and has repeatedly assailed the committee as one-sided and politically motivated.
He hasalso attacked the characterof certain witnesses, many of whom are his former aides and attorneys.
Separately, the Department of Justice -- which has prosecuted various cases related to Jan. 6 -- has been watching the hearings closely.
The committee is expected to produce a final report.
