A day before resuming its televised hearings and with only months remaining before it closes up shop, the House Jan. 6 committee is wrangling over how best to complete its work, with key decisions yet to be made on issues that could help shape its legacy.
A screen displays a photo of former President Donald Trump during the third hearing of the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack, at the Capitol in Washington, June 16, 2022.
The committee also issued a subpoena to Robin Vos, the Republican House speaker in Wisconsin whom Trump tried to pressure as recently as July to overturn the 2020 election, suggesting that the panel tracked Trump’s activities long after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and his departure from office two weeks later.
The final stages of its planned 18 months of work are playing out against a shifting political climate. Polls suggest that Democrats could lose control of the House in November’s midterm elections. Trump is showing every intention of seeking the presidency again, and the committee’s Republican vice chair, Rep.
“They’ve pretty uniformly met and exceeded expectations,” Eisen said. “And when you’ve done that eight times, that suggests that you know what you’re doing. I suspect part of the reason that they took a lengthy hiatus — and by all reports worked very hard over the summer — was to be able to come back in September with a bang.”
The hearing Wednesday is expected to feature new video of the Jan. 6 attack and also new clips of some of the committee’s hundreds of interviews with witnesses.
