Jan 6 panel to lay out US Capitol riot case in prime time hearing

Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Jan 6 panel to lay out US Capitol riot case in prime time hearing” – below is their description.

The special US congressional committee investigating the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the United States Capitol will hold a highly-anticipated public hearing this week on the status of its probe into the deadly riot.

The panel has said Thursday evening’s hearing – the first of several to be held in June – will “provide the American people with a summary of our findings about the coordinated, multi-step effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election”.

The session will be carried live on most major US television news networks in prime time, something experts say aims to draw the American public’s attention to what has so far been a drawn-out and somewhat fragmented process.

Al Jazeera’s Heidi Zhou-Castro reports from Washington, DC.
