‘Surprising' Details Promised By Jan. 6 Committee For Today's Hearing
Fresh information about the movements of then-Vice President, who was presiding over the joint session of Congress on Jan. 6 and was rushed to safety, is also expected to be divulged, according to a person familiar with the committee's planning who was not authorized to discuss it publicly and requested anonymity.
Some in the Secret Service have disputed Cassidy’s account of the events, but it is unclear if the missing texts that the agency has said were deleted during a technology upgrade will ever be recovered. The hearing is expected to reveal fresh details from a massive trove of documents and other evidence provided by the Secret Service.
The committee, having conducted more than 1,500 interviews and obtained countless documents, has produced a sweeping probe of Trump’s activities from his defeat in the November election to the Capitol attack. The Jan. 6 committee has been meeting for more than a year, set up by the House after Republican senators blocked the formation of an outside panel similar to the 9/11 commission set up after the 2001 terrorist attacks. Even after the launch of its high-profile public hearings last summer, the Jan. 6 committee continued to gather evidence and interviews.
At least five people died in the Jan. 6 attack and its aftermath, including a Trump supporter shot and killed by Capitol Police.
