Democrats to reconvene House Jan. 6 committee on fifth anniversary of Capitol riot

Published December 29, 2025 8:18pm ET



House Democrats will reconvene their Jan. 6 riot investigation select committee on the fifth anniversary of the incident.

The hearing will be unofficial, as House Republicans wouldn’t agree to hold a hearing largely pitched by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) in partisan terms. In a letter to House Democrats, Jeffries said the hearing would highlight President Donald Trump’s mass pardoning of Jan. 6 rioters and alleged threats to election integrity from the Trump administration, as well as hear testimonies from people affected by the riot.
