The House Jan. 6 select committee is expected hold at least one more hearing in September. But it has raised so many questions about the events surrounding the attack on the U.S. Capitol that it's unclear whether the panel will get to them all.
No date has been announced yet for the next hearing, and panel members have been coy about their plans. Instead, they've stressed how much information they've been collecting and how much more needs to be said.
On Thursday, the committee revealed a new area of inquiry: It asked former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., to testify voluntarily about his "role in spreading misinformation about the election in the days leading up to the December 14, 2020, meeting of the Electoral College." According to the committee, "evidence shows that Mr. Gingrich pushed messages designed to incite anger among voters even after Georgia election officials had faced intimidation and threats of violence."
