The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks on the U.S. Capitol will hold another public hearing on Thursday.
According to The Washington Post, the hearing is expected to focus on newly obtained Secretary Service documents that reportedly Donald Trump was warned about potential violence but continued to fan the flames, echoing conspiracy theories that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.Since the last public hearing, committee members said they have collected new evidence and heard from additional witnesses, including Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
No in-person witnesses are expected to testify at the hearing, CNN reported on Wednesday. However, sources told the network that the committee may air taped interviews with Trump’s former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former Secretary of Treasury Steve Mnuchin. The House panel had originally scheduled the hearing to take place on Sept. 28. It was canceled because Hurricane Ian was battering Florida on that day.
Whether the hearing will be the panel's final meeting remains unclear. Several key committee members, including Vice Chair Liz Cheney, will no longer be in Congress at the start of 2023. There is also a likelihood the committee will cease if Republicans win a majority of seats in next month’s election.

National Archives rejects Trump claim on former presidents' recordsThe National Archives, the federal agency responsible for preserving U.S. government records, on Tuesday rejected former President Donald Trump's claim that his predecessors had retained 'millions' of White House documents. Trump faces a criminal investigation by the U.S. Justice Department into whether he illegally retained documents from the White House when he left office in January 2021 and whether he tried to obstruct the probe. At a rally in Arizona on Sunday, Trump accused three former presidents - Republicans George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush and Democrat Bill Clinton - of taking millions of documents and storing them in unsecure locations including a Chinese restaurant, a bowling alley and a car dealership.
