“I am calling for the January 6th hearings to be recorded in history as the Thompson Hearings. These hearings are the most consequential congressional hearings since Watergate, and the nation will have a front-row seat to the revelations that led to the January 6th attack on our democracy, the Constitution, and the American people. The world deserves to know the extent of the violence that took place that day, and I look forward to the Committee sharing their findings in these hearings and explaining the scheme to undermine the peaceful transfer of power,” said Congressional Black Caucus Chairwoman Joyce Beatty. “Under the leadership of Chairman Bennie Thompson, this Committee is conducting a meticulous, bipartisan investigation focused on uncovering the facts. They’ve conducted more than a thousand interviews and received more than 140,000 documents. It is crucial the Committee tells the American people the full story and makes recommendations that will help ensure nothing like January 6th ever happens again.”
