A House select committee is holding public, televised hearings detailing its investigation into the Jan. 6, 2020 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The first hearing will start Thursday at 8 p.m. ET. The second will be held Monday, June 13th, at 10 a.m. ET. There may be as many as eight days of hearings before month’s end, and more in September. You can watch them all below.
The committee plans to unveil previously unseen footage from the attack on the Capitol, conduct interviews with Trump White House staffers and also play videos of its interviews with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, according to the Washington Post.
The hearing reportedly will also include testimony from Nick Quested, a documentary filmmaker who was following the right-wing group The Proud Boys as the Capitol was attacked, and Caroline Edwards, a Capitol police officer who was injured.
C-SPAN is serving as the pool for broadcast and cable media, and will cover the hearing with seven cameras. Each network — except Fox News, which is not covering the hearings in full — will add analysis and reporting.
With mounds of data, graphic presentations, thousands of hours of footage and hundreds of photos, the hearing reportedly will be much more media heavy than is typical. That’s likely part of why James Goldston, the former president of ABC News, has been advising on the presentation.
What follows are the coverage plans that each network has for the hearings, which can also be streamed at january6th.house.gov.
