The committee investigating did not immediately reveal the topic of the hearing, advising only that it would “present recently obtained evidence” and “receive witness testimony.”
The committee originally laid out a schedule of seven public hearings during the month of June, but reserved the right to hold more if warranted. Last week, Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said the panel received so much new information that it was putting off the last hearings until after the July Fourth recess to sort through it.
Last Thursday’s hearing, which focused on Trump’s attempt to subvert the Justice Department into falsely backing his claims of a “stolen” election, was the fifth the committee has held since June 9.
