Last weekend it was reported that Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), the chairman of the Select Committee to investigate the Capitol riot from January 6, was eyeing a July 21 or 22 for their first hearing. On Wednesday it was announced that the official date will be July 27. And, just as Chairman Thompson warned then, the hearing will go on whether or not House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has chosen five Republican members for the committee, with such members being subject to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi s veto power.
This first hearing, as was previewed by Thompson last week, will feature testimony from police officers at the scene on January 6.
