Jan. 6 panel says public hearings will 'change history.' Here's what to expect.
The House Jan. 6 committee is raising expectations for its first high-stakes public hearing Thursday, saying the prime-time event will be packed with new video, audio and other information proving that former President Donald Trump was at the heart of the attack.
Rep. Liz Cheney took on Donald Trump and voted to impeach and investigate him. Back home, polls suggest she's trailing his chosen challenger.
One faction wants to ignore the proceedings. Another thinks some direct counterprogramming is necessary.
Whether the public hearings will be considered a success for Democrats largely depends on what comes after and whether legislation or prosecutions follow.
The first public hearing held bythe House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot will take place Thursday evening with witness testimony and video footage surrounding last year's attack on the Capitol.
