The United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack began holding live televised public hearings.
During the first hearing, the chair and vice-chair, Democrat Bennie Thompson and Republican Liz Cheney, both allege that former President Donald Trump attempted to retain power even after losing the 2020 presidential election.
Thompson referred to it as a "coup" and Cheney claimed the hearings would present evidence showing that Trump used a seven-part plan, culminating in the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
