WASHINGTON — The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol spent its seventh hearing Tuesday focused on the origins of the mob and former President Trump’s role in inciting it.
The hearing covered the period from Dec. 18, 2020 — when a wildly contentious meeting took place in the Oval Office between Trump White House aides and conspiracy-minded outside advisers — to the morning of Jan. 6.
Led by Reps. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., and Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., the hearing featured extensive testimony from former White House counsel Pat Cipollone, who was interviewed by the committee for eight hours Friday.
