Jan. 6 Committee to Share New Evidence of Trump's Role in Capitol Insurrection
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The House committee investigating the January 6 insurrection is holding
what could be its last public hearing today. Lawmakers are expected to
share more evidence that Trump deliberately encouraged his violent
supporters who attacked the Capitol, despite knowing some were armed,
and refused to step in as the situation spiraled out of control. This
comes as a witness in a trial for five members of the far-right Oath
Keepers says the group kept a large stash of firearms in a hotel room
before the Capitol riot. Democracy Now! will be streaming the January 6
hearings starting at 1 p.m. today on democracynow.org.
