Jamie Raskin doesn’t say whether the Jan 6 Committee will get Mike Pence to testify
The House committee investigating last year’s January 6 attacks on the Capitol building is planning to launch the primetime hearings today by playing unreleased videos of former president’s aides and family members testifying before its staff.
The videos will also reveal the role of Proud Boys, a right-wing extremist group, during the insurrection.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr, and daughter Ivanka Trump are scheduled to testify in New York’s civil probe into alleged fraud at their family business from 15 July.
Court documents revealed on Wednesday that New York state attorney general Letitia James and her team of investigators will have to conclude their questioning “by the following week.”
A former GOP insider tells The Independent that Donald Trump will “lose his mind” when he watches the January 6 committee hearings on the Capitol riot on Thursday evening and realises no one is there to interject on his behalf.
The January 6 committee hearings will get underway starting at 8 pm ET Thursday.
Trump allies meanwhile have called the prime time special “disgustingly out of touch”, saying that Americans care more about inflation and gas prices, and no one will watch.
