House Capitol-riot committee may air video of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's testimonies in prime-time hearings, report says

• The January 6 committee is about to start holding hearings publicly on June 9.
• Sources told The Washington Post this may involve sharing testimony by Trump family members.

The House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol may share video of the testimonies given by former President Donald Trump's family members, The Washington Post reported, as the committee starts releasing its work to the public.

The January 6 committee is set to start holding its hearings in public, and during prime time, for the first time this week. It is due to start at 8 p.m. on June 9, and will be livestreamed.

It is not clear who will be testifying, but The Post reported that committee would be talking to "administration insiders" this month.

The Post also reported that people with knowledge of the committee's work think the committee will share video testimony previously given by Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump, and her husband, Jared Kushner. They were both senior advisors to Donald Trump during his presidency.

The committee has not yet formally decided on whether it will air those testimonies, The Post noted.

One committee member also said that the investigation moving into its public phase means Americans will learn much more about the riot and how it happened.

Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democrat, said on Sunday that there was a lot of information that Americans did not yet know about the riot, despite leaks and briefings about its hearings so far.

"Americans I think know a great deal already — they have seen a number of bombshells already [and] there's a great deal they haven't seen. But perhaps the most important is the public has not seen it woven together, how one thing led to another," he told CBS' "Face the Nation."

He said that a "comprehensive narrative" about the riot would be given for the first time.

Axios reported last month that aides to committee members were warned to prepare for "bombshells" during the public hearings.

The committee said their next hearing would see the committee "present previously unseen material documenting January 6th, receive witness testimony, preview additional hearings, and provide the American people a summary of its findings about the coordinated, multi-step effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and prevent the transfer of power."

The committee has so far done more than 1,000 interviews, The Post reported.
