Trump, meanwhile, remained in the White House dining room, where he watched the attack unfold in real time for more than two hours. Were you joined in that effort by Ivanka Trump?” lawyers for the committee asked former White House counsel Pat Cipollone. “Eric Herschmann?” the lawyer asked in reference to the former White House lawyer. Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Meadows who worked in White House, corroborated Cipollone’s recollections about Trump’s eldest daughter on Jan. 6. “White House consul’s office wanted there to be a stronger statement out to condemn the rioters.

The House Jan. 6 committee is headed back to prime time for its eighth hearing.

Trump’s attempts to contact the witness were revealed by Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) in a statement at the end of Tuesday’s hearing. The identity of the individual was not released, but Cheney said Trump tried to call the individual following the

Through seven hearings this summer, the House Jan. 6 panel has maintained consistent themes: Donald Trump’s stubborn resistance to advisers who told him that Joe Biden won the election, and the former president’s role in inciting the Capitol insurrection.

For Rep. Stephanie Murphy, D-Fla., investigating who was responsible for the riot at the U.S. Capitol Building is vital and personal.

New Zealand said that the Proud Boys' role in the Jan 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot contributed to its blacklisting.

The following is a transcript of an interview with Democratic Rep. Pete Aguilar of California that aired Sunday, June 26, 2022, on "Face the Nation."

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and more appear on "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" this Sunday.

The four-term congressman from Southern California is poised to vault high up into Democratic leadership circles whenever the caucus makes its generational shift, with a possible path to becoming the first Hispanic speaker of the House.

The panel focused on John Eastman, a lawyer advising Trump who pushed the theory that Pence could take decisive action that could overturn Biden's election win.

Testimony presented on Thursday suggests that Trump knew about violence at the Capitol before he targeted the vice president in a tweet.

The violent mob that spilled into the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, was at times dangerously close to then-Vice President Mike Pence, posing an immediate threat to his life, according to testimony during Thursday's Jan. 6 hearing.

Eastman later pleaded the Fifth Amendment 100 times during his deposition to the committee, a lawmaker on the January 6 panel said Thursday.

The idea that Vice President Mike Pence could have effectively deemed Trump the winner of the 2020 election is legally baseless and amounts to "constitutional mischief," retired federal Judge J. Michael Luttig tells the Jan. 6 committee.

In a video clip shown by the Jan. 6 committee on Thursday, an unidentified Trump supporter is seen threatening to drag politicians "through the streets" if Vice President Mike Pence "caved."

The committee will lay out the last-ditch plan pushed by California lawyer John Eastman and former President Trump to persuade Pence to reject the votes of certain states or send results back to state legislatures to determine whether fraud occurred.

Rep. Pete Aguilar says Thursday's Jan. 6 hearing will focus on then-President Trump and lawyer John Eastman pressuring then-Vice President Mike Pence.

The two games of the Golden State-Boston NBA Finals series last week both exceeded 10 million viewers, Nielsen said. For the week, ABC averaged 4.1 million viewers in prime time. ABC's “World News Tonight” won the evening news ratings race with an average of 7 million viewers. Jan. 6 Committee Hearing, ABC, 5.22 million. Jan. 6 Committee Hearing, CBS, 3.49 million.

ABC took home the crown as television's top-rated network last week behind two games of the NBA Finals series between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics.

Police have determined there was nothing suspicious about a tour of two Capitol office buildings that a House Republican gave to about 15 people the day before Jan. 6, 2021, when rioting supporters of then-President Donald Trump attacked the Capitol.

Lawmakers hope to show that Trump's effort to overturn Joe Biden's election victory posed a grave threat to democracy. He is likely to face questions about what those in Trump's inner circle were telling the president about the election results. Among them is the former U.S. attorney in Atlanta, BJay Pak, who abruptly resigned after Trump pressured Georgia state officials to overturn his presidential defeat. But Trump pursued his false claims about the election and beckoned supporters to Washington on Jan. 6 to overturn Biden's victory as Congress was set to certify the Electoral College results. Stepien was subpoenaed, and Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich suggested that the committee’s decision to call him was politically motivated.

The 1/6 panel resumes its hearings Monday with live witnesses, including Trump's campaign manager, Bill Stepien, as committee members say they have uncovered enough evidence for the Justice Department to consider an unprecedented criminal indictment against the former president. Stepien, a longtime Trump ally, is likely to face questions about what those in Trump's inner circle were telling the president as the election results rolled in. He is now a top campaign adviser to the Trump-endorsed House candidate, Harriet Hageman, who is challenging Cheney in the Wyoming Republican primary election. In addition to Stepien, the committee is also set to hear testimony from Chris Stirewalt, a former Fox News political editor who had a front-row seat to election night coverage. A Trump spokesman, Taylor Budowich, suggested that the committee’s decision to call Stepien was politically motivated.

The scale and virulence of that scheme began to take shape under the glare of the House hearing investigating 1/6. The House panel investigating the 1/6 attack on the Capitol is prepared next week to reveal more details and testimony about its assessment that Trump was made well aware of his election loss. In a previously unseen video clip, the panel played a remark from former Attorney General Bill Barr, who testified that he told Trump the claims of a rigged election were "bull——." One rioter after another told the committee they came to the Capitol because Trump asked them to. In wrenching testimony U.S. Capitol Police officer Caroline Edwards told the panel that she slipped in other people’s blood as rioters pushed past her into the Capitol.

Donald Trump was told over and over again: There was no voting fraud that could have tipped the 2020 presidential election.

Presented in prime time and carefully calibrated for a TV-viewing audience (itself increasingly an anachronism), the debut of the Jan. 6 hearings was, in essence, a summer rerun.

Capitol Riot Investigation Lawmakers This combination of photos shows the members of the House select committee tasked with investigating the Jan. 6, attack. The 74-year-old lawmaker was sitting in the upper House gallery on Jan. 6, watching rioters' attempts to break through the doors. In the months that have followed, even as some of his more outspoken counterparts have appeared on television to repeatedly criticize Trump, Thompson has mostly steered clear of the spectacle. Speaker Nancy Pelosi recruited her and fellow censured Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger to be the sole GOP members of the panel. She said making the Capitol safer is not a substitute for determining what led to the attack on Jan. 6, 2021.

For the past 80 years, a ritual takes place across most of America every Spring and Fall: moving clocks an hour ahead or an hour behind, namely daylight saving time or standard time. However, much to everyone’s surprise, the Senate unanimously approved a measure on March 15 to make daylight saving time permanent across the United States next year. The bipartisan bill, named the Sunshine ...

Recent legal moves by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol offers some clues on how it's following the money.

While the perennial spending fights continue to be laced with partisan venom, lawmakers in both parties have pledged an unusual level of unity in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This sets up what could become a long march of congressionally approved funds to battle against Putin’s latest act of aggression.

“We have no time to waste,” Biden said at the White House after the House passage early Saturday. That ships the bill to the Senate, where Democrats seem bent on resuscitating their minimum wage push and fights could erupt over state aid and other issues. Biden said weeks ago that he didn't expect the minimum wage increase to survive the Senate's rules. But those same Senate rules prohibit provisions with only an “incidental” impact on the federal budget because they are chiefly driven by other policy purposes. Republicans oppose the $15 minimum wage target as an expense that would hurt businesses and cost jobs.

The new president’s vision for flushing cash to individuals, businesses, states and cities battered by COVID-19 passed on a near party-line 219-212 vote. Biden said weeks ago that he didn't expect the minimum wage increase to survive the Senate's rules. But those same Senate rules prohibit provisions with only an “incidental” impact on the federal budget because they are chiefly driven by other policy purposes. MacDonough decided that the minimum wage provision failed that test. Republicans oppose the $15 minimum wage target as an expense that would hurt businesses and cost jobs.

With no challenger in sight, Speaker Nancy Pelosi breezed through her reelection bid in Wednesday’s House leadership vote and moved closer to what is expected to be her final two-year term in the high-profile post. Heading into the election, House Democrats had a majority of 232 to 197, with one Libertarian and five open seats. But on top of that, our leverage and our power [are] greatly enhanced by having a Democratic president in the White House,” Pelosi said. Two other Californians are among those jockeying for a spot in the Democratic leadership this week. To secure the speaker’s gavel in 2018 amid backlash from those who wanted fresh leadership, Pelosi agreed to term limits that would prevent her from running again after 2022.
