Thursday 9 June 2022 11:22 PM Trump calls January 6 'the greatest movement in the history of our country' ... trends now
After nearly a year, the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol is finally presenting its findings to the public in a highly-anticipated public hearing on Thursday night.
The Democrat-led panel spent 11 months searching for what caused last year's insurrection, when Donald Trump's supporters attempted to stop Congress from certifying the ballots for Joe Biden's electoral victory.
Now armed with hundreds of witness testimonies, thousands of hours' worth of footage, and more than 100,000 pages of evidence, lawmakers believe they can contextualize the Capitol riot into a wider scheme by Trump and his allies to undermine American democracy and the 2020 election.
'I think it's really important for the American people to understand how the attack unfolded, to understand what provoked the attack,' the committee's vice chair, Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, said on Dispatch Live Tuesday.
The panel even reportedly recruited former ABC News president James Goldston to shape their combination of footage, live testimony, images and videotaped depositions into a blockbuster presentation of evidence.
When is the hearing?
The first of six sessions is at 8 p.m. Eastern on Thursday evening.
The following hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Monday, June 13.
It's not yet clear when the next four will be, but two more are expected next week, according to the New York Times.
The following week will reportedly see the remaining two hearings.

Who is testifying?
The committee is hearing from British documentary filmmaker Nick Quested and Capitol police officer Caroline Edwards on Thursday.
Quested was embedded with the far-right group and would have video evidence of its members' confrontations with law enforcement outside of the Capitol as well as other key findings about its activity.
