After a months-long hiatus, the January 6 committee returned with a promise to reveal former US president Donald Trump's "state of mind" as his supporters stormed the Capitol in 2021.
In its ninth hearing, the panel aired fresh evidence and behind-the-scenes footage, before taking the extraordinary step of voting to hear from Mr Trump.
"We are obligated to seek answers directly from the man who set this all in motion and every American is invited to hear those answers so we can act now to protect our republic," said the committee's vice-chair Liz Cheney.
