The next Jan. 6 select committee hearing will be held on July 12, following a two-week hiatus to process new evidence.
The committee announced Tuesday that the sixth hearing in its summer series will take place one week hence at 10 a.m. Committee member Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said it will focus on right-wing groups who were at the Capitol the day of the riot.
SCHIFF PREVIEWS NEXT JAN. 6 COMMITTEE HEARING: ASSEMBLING THE MOB
“Our very next hearing will be focused on the efforts to assemble that mob on the [National Mall], who was participating, who was financing it, how it was organized — including the participation of these white nationalist groups like the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters, and others,” Schiff said on Face the Nation on Sunday.
Members of both groups have been prosecuted in the investigations following the riot.

The committee said after the fourth hearing that it would not complete all the hearings by the end of June but then held a surprise hearing featuring the testimony of former West Wing aide Cassidy Hutchinson. She delivered a series of rhetorical bombshells, including stories she heard about former President Donald Trump welcoming his supporters to bring arms to the Capitol to try and block the certification of election results that made Joe Biden the next president.
