The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection plans to hold eight public hearings in June, the panel’s chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, told reporters Thursday.

"We’ll tell the story about what happened," the Mississippi Democrat said outside the Capitol. "We will use a combination of witnesses, exhibits, things that we have through the tens of thousands of exhibits we’ve interviewed and looked at, as well as the hundreds of witnesses we’ve deposed or just talked to in general."

The hearings will be held both in daytime and prime-time hours, with the first slated for June 9, Thompson said. 

The committee plans to release a full report on its investigation in early fall, Thompson said earlier this week.

Thompson’s office did not respond to a request from Spectrum News seeking further comment.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., a member of the committee, said last week the hearings “will tell a story that will really blow the roof off the House.”

Thompson also said Thursday the panel will again invite House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Reps. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania and Jim Jordan of Ohio — all Republicans — to voluntarily sit for interviews. 

Audio recordings released in recent days by The New York Times portray McCarthy as fed up with Trump in the aftermath of the Capitol attack, when the defeated president rallied his supporters to head to Congress and object to Democrat Joe Biden’s election victory.

In the recordings, McCarthy is heard telling Republicans privately that he was considering asking Trump to resign. In another recording released late Tuesday, McCarthy warns that dangerous public commentary from Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and others is “putting people in jeopardy” of potential violence. 

McCarthy has denied The New York Times account of events, leading Democrats and others to call him a liar, as audio of the secretly recorded calls was released.

On Wednesday, McCarthy stood at party headquarters and defended his actions, suggesting he was merely running through possible scenarios as Democrats moved to impeach Trump in the aftermath of the violent siege.

In the GOP meeting, McCarthy clearly stated that he never asked the president to resign, said one of the Republicans. He has also publicly said he did not do so. The Times didn’t report that he asked Trump to resign, only that he told members he would.

Thompson has previously said witnesses told the committee Perry was involved in a plot to install Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark as acting attorney general to help former President Donald Trump overturn the 2020 presidential election. And Jordan has admitted he spoke with Trump by phone on Jan. 6.
