As cable news networks and journalists around Washington prepare for the first of several prime time hearings hosted by the select House committee investigating 6 January, lawmakers are being confronted by a simple question: How many Americans still care?
The question was on the mind of reporters at Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s weekly press conference at the Capitol on Thursday, where the Democratic leader was confronted by a journalist who asserted that “a big chunk of Americans” have “decided [that] they just don’t care” about the investigation into the violence that overtook the nation’s capital, including the effort to determine Donald Trump’s role in the day’s events.
