The January 6 committee plans to put key witnesses on the stand during its public hearings.
Key testimony is expected from Trump administration officials and those present at the Capitol.
The select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack has interviewed nearly 1,000 people since it converged about a year ago. The panel is now set to start public hearings related to its investigation and is expected to call some of its key witnesses to testify in what is expected to be a widely-viewed series of events.
The witnesses are expected to provide the most compelling testimony during the public hearings set to kick off at 8 pm on Thursday. Although the full list of witnesses has not yet been made public January 6 committee staff have confirmed the names of those scheduled to testify Thursday night. This story will be updated as new information becomes available.
