Spoiler alert. It's been nearly a year and a half since Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. Since then, the events of January 6 have been subject to intense scrutiny from law enforcement, legislators, pundits, and the press. So it's hard to imagine what new information could possibly come out in tonight's first public hearing on the day's events. But aides for the House select committee investigating January 6 are promising just that.
"There will be a lot of new information revealed at [Thursday's] hearing," a committee aide told reporters yesterday, per CNBC. "We will be revealing new details showing that the violence of January 6 was the result of a coordinated, multi-step effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election and stop the transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden."
