After a long break and then a postponement caused by Hurricane Ian, the House Jan. 6 select committee is set to hold what may be its final hearing Thursday at 1 p.m. Eastern time. Committee Chair Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., told reporters last week that the hearing will not have live witnesses — a first for the panel — but he added, “We still have significant information that we’ve not shown to the public that’s available to us.”
Committee members haven’t tipped their hand about the ground they plan to cover or the surprises they may have in store. But the political landscape has shifted significantly since their last hearing captured the nation’s attention in late July. Since then, former President Donald Trump’s Florida home was searched by the FBI, evidence emerged that he’d squirreled away sensitive top-secret documents, and Trumpworld came under increased scrutiny from prosecutors in New York and Georgia.
In fact, so much has happened since the committee’s last session, you might have a hard time recalling all the ground the panel covered in June and July. To help get you back up to speed, here is a recap of the previous eight sessions.
