The January 6 Uprising

The House Special Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 riot held a series of high-profile hearings in June. To the commission the next public hearing is scheduled for July 12.

Congressional Hearings: The House Committee investigating the attack on the US Capitol held a series of hearings to share its findings with the US public. The sixth hearing included explosive testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson, a former White House aide.

Will there be a fee? The committee could press charges against former President Donald Trump for his role in the attack, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said in an interview.

What we know about what Trump did on January 6: New details emerged when Hutchinson testified before the commission and shared what she saw and heard on January 6.

The Rebellion: On January 6, 2021, a pro-Trump mob stormed the US Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of the 2020 election results. Five people died that day or shortly thereafter, and 140 police officers were attacked.

Inside the Siege: During the riot, rioters came dangerously close to breaking into the building’s inner sanctums while lawmakers were still inside, including former Vice President Mike Pence. The Washington Post examined text messages, photos and videos to create a video timeline of what happened on January 6.
