The Jan. 6 committee said Thursday night it will hold more hearings in September, taking the divisive investigation into the 2021 pro-Trump riot at the U.S. Capitol deeper into the midterm election season.
Rep. Liz Cheney, the top Republican on the panel, said more information has come to light, and the committee members plan to spend their August recess pursuing other avenues into the probe for their return in September.
“Our committee will spend August pursuing and merging information on multiple fronts before convening in September,” Ms. Cheney said at the start of the panel’s ninth hearing.
