The House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol has laid out a road map for the hearings this month as it examines then-president Donald Trump's responsibility for the melee and the damage that resulted for law enforcement officers, members of Congress and others in attendance that day.
The next round of hearings won't take place in prime time like the debut on Thursday (local time), but committee members will go into greater detail about specific aspects of the insurrection.
Here's a snapshot of what the committee says is ahead:
'False and fraudulent information'
Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the Republican vice chair of the committee, said evidence will be presented on Monday at the second hearing showing that Mr Trump "engaged in a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information" that the election had been stolen — even though advisers and allies told him repeatedly he had lost.
The panel touched on that theme in its first hearing with a clip from former attorney general Bill Barr, testifying that he repeatedly told the president "in no uncertain terms that I did not see evidence of fraud" that would have affected the election.
As well, Trump campaign lawyer Alex Cannon was shown discussing conversations with then White House chief of staff Mark Meadows sometime in November 2020.
When asked how Mr Meadows responded, Mr Cannon said: "I believe the words he used were, 'so there's no there there.'"
Justice Department pressured
Ms Cheney said the third hearing on Wednesday would focus on how Mr Trump pushed for the Justice Department to "spread his false stolen election claims in the days before January 6." Senior Justice Department officials refused, telling him his claims were not true.
She noted how Mr Trump sought to elevate Jeffrey Clark, an environmental lawyer at the department, to the job of acting attorney general.
Mr Clark had drafted a letter to send to Georgia and five other states saying the Justice Department had "identified significant concerns that may have impacted the outcome of the election."
Mr Trump nearly gave the top job to Mr Clark but backed down when senior Justice Department leadership and White House lawyers threatened to resign, testimony has shown.
"The men involved, including Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen and Acting Deputy Attorney General Richard Donoghue, were appointed by President Trump," Ms Cheney said.
Mr Clark has invoked his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination and refused to testify to the committee.
Mike Pence in the spotlight
Ms Cheney said the fourth hearing would focus on Mr Trump's efforts to pressure then-vice-president Mike Pence to stop Congress from certifying some electoral votes for Mr Biden on January 6 — something he had no power to do in his ceremonial role.
There was a gasp in the hearing room when Ms Cheney read an account on Thursday from inside the White House.
When Mr Trump was told the Capitol mob was chanting for Mr Pence to be hanged for refusing to block the election results, Mr Trump responded that maybe the mob was right, that he "deserves it," Ms Cheney said.
The day promises plenty of political intrigue as both Mr Trump and Mr Pence seek to shape the Republican Party for years to come, and perhaps make a run for the presidency in 2024.
'Find' the votes
Ms Cheney said the fifth hearing, expected the following week, would focus on the president's efforts to pressure state legislators and state election officials to change the election results, including additional details about Mr Trump's call to Georgia officials urging them to "find" 11,780 votes.
She also has promised new details about efforts to instruct Republican officials in multiple states to create false electoral slates and transmit those slates to Congress, Mr Pence and the National Archives, falsely certifying that Mr Trump won states he had actually lost.
Donald Trump's response to the attack
Ms Cheney said the final two hearings would focus on how Mr Trump summoned supporters to march on the Capitol, and when the violence was underway, failed to take immediate action to stop them.
The last hearing will have a moment-by-moment account of Mr Trump's response to the attack from former White House staff, both through live testimony in the hearing room and via videotape.
"There is no doubt President Trump was well aware of the violence as it developed," Ms Cheney said.
When to watch in Australia
The next two hearings are scheduled for Tuesday, June 14, and Thursday, June 16, at midnight AEST.
A fourth will happen on Friday, June 17, at 3am AEST, with several more expected in June, running between 90 minutes and two and a half hours each.
The final instalment will also be aired at prime time, likely in September — ahead of the release of the committee's final report and November's midterm elections — but, if Republicans gain control of the House of Representatives as expected, then the investigation could be shut down.
