What's the TV schedule for the Jan. 6 committee hearings?

The U.S. House Jan. 6 select committee is set to hold its fifth hearing today at noon Pacific, exploring former President Trump's efforts to persuade the Justice Department to support his false claim that the election was tainted by rampant fraud — and how he tried to install an attorney general who would help him get the job done.

His efforts were blocked by senior Justice Department officials and White House lawyers who threatened to resign en masse. Three of those former Justice Department officials are slated to testify.

The committee had originally planned to explore this topic at a June 15 hearing, but that session was postponed without explanation. Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said Thursday's hearing will show that Trump was "the driving force behind the effort to corrupt the Justice Department" to hold on to the White House.

The session will be the first led by one of the committee's two Republicans: Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.

The committee has not yet scheduled any further hearings. But more are almost certainly coming as the committee continues to collect and spool out evidence of what its members have called an "attempted coup" by Trump.

“The original hearings would have wrapped up in June, but we are picking up new evidence on a daily basis with enormous velocity, and so we're constantly incorporating and including the new information that's coming out,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) said after Tuesday's session with officials from Arizona and Georgia. “Certainly the hearings will conclude before the end of the summer, but I don't know that we're going to make it by the end of June.”

“There is evidence coming in from diverse sources," Raskin added. Having seen that the committee is running a serious, bipartisan investigation "focused just on getting the facts of what happened," he said, "a lot of people are coming forward now with information.”

The proceedings are being aired live online and by select broadcasters. The committee is using the carefully scripted hearings to lay out the findings from the investigation it began more than 10 months ago.

“We can’t sweep what happened under the rug,” Thompson said June 9 at the opening hearing. “The American people deserve answers."

Here are links to the hearings held thus far, as well as info on what to expect next month.

Thursday, June 9

What happened: The committee led with a graphic and emotional look back at the attack on the U.S. Capitol that occurred as lawmakers tried to count electoral votes. One key moment was a 10-minute video with previously unseen footage of protesters battering their way into the Capitol. Another was the testimony of Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards, who said she was “slipping in people’s blood” as she fought to defend the lawmakers inside.

Monday, June 13

What happened: The second hearing revealed evidence that Trump and his advisors knew there was no election fraud yet spread the "Big Lie." Trump, the committee said, was informed multiple times by campaign staffers and Atty. Gen. William Barr that there was no proof of fraud.

Thursday, June 16

What happened: This hearing focused on the pressure that Trump and conservative California lawyer John Eastman exerted on Vice President Mike Pence to reject electoral votes from seven states won by Joe Biden — this would have enabled Trump to hold on to the presidency — even though they knew their actions were illegal. The panel heard from a top Pence aide, who said the vice president never believed he had the power to throw the election to Trump, as well as a conservative judge who helped Pence resist Trump's demands.

Tuesday, June 21

What happened: The committee heard testimony from the Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives and two election officials from Georgia, all Republicans, about the efforts by Trump and his lawyers to get them to reverse election results without the legal authority to do so. An election supervisor from Fulton County, Ga., also spoke emotionally about the harassment she, her mother and her grandmother endured after they were accused by Trump of election fraud — a claim he knew had been debunked.

Future hearings

Thompson told reporters Wednesday that the committee would hold two more hearings in July after the House returns from a two-week break. He also left open the possibility for more sessions based on new information coming in, including a flood of contacts to the committee's tip line.

Vice Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) previously said the committee would devote one of its later hearings to the words Trump used to summon "a violent mob and directed them illegally to march on the U.S. Capitol.” The committee planned to share evidence of Trump refusing to tell military leaders to try to control the violence, waiting several hours before calling on rioters to disperse, she said.

Meanwhile, the committee is interviewing more witnesses and battling in court to obtain the testimony of former White House officials close to Trump. This week, a documentary filmmaker who had unusual access to the Trump campaign confirmed that he had been subpoenaed and would offer testimony and previously unseen tapes to the committee.
