evidence: Members of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the US Capitol listen during the first hearing on Thursday, June 9 in Washington, DC. [...] The hearing will also seek to connect Trump’s lies about the election to the violence at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, aides said, including how rioters echoed the former President’s baseless allegations that the election was being stolen. [...] The first hearing featured two witnesses — a Capitol Police officer and a documentarian who was with extremist groups on Jan. 6 — but their testimony came after a lengthy presentation from committee Chairman Benny Thompson and Cheney that summarized the panel’s findings, as well as a lengthy video showing new footage from the violent attack on the Capitol.
