The House Judiciary Committee has concluded a seven-part series of hearings on white supremacist violence and far-right antidemocratic threats in the US, with hours of testimony addressing the scope and scale of white nationalism, political violence, and threats to LGBT+ people.
A final hearing on 13 December – the committee’s last before Republican lawmakers take majority control of the House of Representatives next year – followed six other hearings on “confronting white supremacy” that started in early 2019, nearly two years before a mob stormed the US Capitol to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
