WASHINGTON — The Jan. 6 committee is pausing its public hearings after Thursday’s meeting as the House panel sorts through documentary footage and other new evidence that has surfaced concerning the attack on the US Capitol.
“We have a new documentary person that we’re talking to, and we’ve got to look through all of his information,” Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson told reporters, adding that he’s seen only some of the new evidence.
Thompson was referring to British documentary filmmaker Alex Holder, who tweeted on Tuesday that he received a subpoena from the committee to turn over footage he has of former President Donald Trump leading up to the Capitol assault. Holder said he is to be questioned by the committee behind closed doors on Thursday.
