House Democrats investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot are newly optimistic about securing testimony from former Trump officials. That doesn’t mean they’re close to hauling in big names from the ex-president’s turbulent final days.
Lawmakers on the Jan. 6 select committee describe their probe’s reach as still undefined, saying in interviews that they have yet to formalize the confines of an already closely watched and fast-moving investigation. Minutes
Part of the balancing act for the select committee is taking into account the myriad Jan. 6 investigations both on and off Capitol Hill that have already been completed or are still underway. That includes athat examined the security breakdowns at the Capitol complex leading up to and during the insurrection, as well as DOJ’s prosecutions of the rioters.
“[We] want to know who was the ultimate organizer and who paid for all of this action and how did it come about and are they still out there,” Raskin said. “They will make their determination in terms of time, place, and circumstance,” she said Wednesday. “They will make those decisions. I’m not involved in those decisions at all.”
The select committee could also have trouble maintaining momentum when the House leaves for its August recess after this week. Thompson told reporters Tuesday that they could “conceivably” return in mid-August to hold another hearing.
