WASHINGTON — (AP) — The House Jan. 6 committee is shutting down, having completed a whirlwind 18-month investigation of the 2021 Capitol insurrection and sent its work to the Justice Department along with a recommendation for prosecuting former President Donald Trump. Lawmakers have said they want to make their work public to underscore the seriousness of the attack and Trump’s multi-pronged effort to try to overturn the election. It is unclear whether the GOP-led House could enforce the provision and what they would do with the materials. The panel formally or informally interviewed more than 1,000 witnesses, collected more than 1 million documents and held 10 well-watched hearings. The panel recommended that the Justice Department prosecute Trump on four crimes, including aiding an insurrection.

House Administration Committee Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., sent a four-page letter to Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger on Wednesday, saying the attack on Paul Pelosi raises "significant questions about security protections for Members of Congress." Threats to lawmakers have skyrocketed in recent years — almost 10,000 threats were investigated last year — and the agency has struggled to protect lawmakers, their families and the Capitol campus with limited resources. The San Francisco Police Department often posted a patrol car at the Pelosi house, particularly after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the Capitol, but there was no police car present at the home during the time of the attack, the person said. Paul Pelosi remained in the Intensive Care Unit in a San Francisco hospital, and was receiving regular visits from Nancy Pelosi and other family members. This summer, she convened a call with other House Democrats to crowdsource how to stay safe while in their districts and out campaigning.

Here's what we learned from what will apparently be the committee's final public hearing, which included never-before-seen Secret Service records and other evidence.

The House Select Committee detailed new information showing Trump's plans to declare victory were 'premeditated' and he worked with others to deny election results.

The House Jan. 6 Committee presented evidence Thursday that showed that former President Donald Trump planned to falsely declare that he had won the 2020 election "months" before Election Day. Frankly, we did win this election," Trump declared on election night, adding, "We want all voting to stop." "It was a premeditated plan by the president to declare victory no matter what the actual result was. He's going to declare victory. The committee further showed documentary film footage of Roger Stone, an informal Trump adviser whom the president pardoned in December 2020, discussing his view that Trump should prematurely declare victory.

Today's hearing of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection is likely the last before next month's elections.

WASHINGTON — (AP) — The House Jan. 6 committee is set to unveil "surprising" details including evidence from Donald Trump's Secret Service about the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol in what is likely to be its last public hearing before the November midterm elections. Several people who were among the thousands around the Capitol on Jan. 6 are now running for congressional office, some with Trump’s backing. The hearing is expected to reveal fresh details from a massive trove of documents and other evidence provided by the Secret Service. Even after the launch of its high-profile public hearings last summer, the Jan. 6 committee continued to gather evidence and interviews. Under committee rules, the Jan. 6 panel is expected to produce a report of its findings, due after the election, likely in December.

The House Jan. 6 committee has subpoenaed Donald Trump for his testimony about the 2021 Capitol attack.

The January 6 Select Committee will meet again on Thursday in Washington, DC, with a different approach to presenting its findings to the American people.

Since the last hearing, the panel has continued to bring in witnesses and people involved in the effort to keep President Trump in office.

Members of Congress have officially objected to the results in four of the last six presidential elections.

There may be just enough votes to close the loopholes in the Electoral Count Act that Trump and his followers pried open on Jan. 6, 2021.

The bill is squarely aimed at former President Trump's dispute of the 2020 election results, and would clarify that the vice president's role when counting election results is ministerial only.

WASHINGTON — (AP) — The House will vote on an overhaul of a centuries-old election law, an effort to prevent future presidential candidates from trying to subvert the popular will. The bill would set new parameters around the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress that happens every four years after a presidential election. Both Cheney and Lofgren are also members of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack. The House bill would set out very narrow grounds for those objections, an attempt to thwart baseless or politically motivated challenges. The House vote comes as the Senate is moving on a similar track with enough Republican support to virtually ensure passage before the end of the year.

The central idea behind House and Senate bills to reform an arcane federal election law is simple: Congress should not decide presidential elections.

The House has passed legislation to overhaul the rules for certifying the results of a presidential election as lawmakers accelerate their response to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection and Donald Trump’s failed attempt to remain in power.

The bill, intended to insure there's no repeat of Jan. 6, 2021, must also pass the Senate if it is approved by the House.

House Democrats are voting this week on changes to a 19th century law for certifying presidential elections.

Bannon had been one of the highest-profile Trump-allied holdouts in refusing to testify before the committee.

A lawyer for former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, who faces criminal charges after months of defying a congressional subpoena, told the committee over the weekend that Bannon may now be willing to testify, according to committee members. Thursday's hearing will be the first in the prime-time slot since the June 9 debut that was viewed by 20 million people. Lawmakers on the committee had indicated in mid-June there would be no more hearings until July, but in late June they held a surprise hearing for the testimony of former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson. Her explosive testimony provided the most compelling evidence yet that Trump could be linked to a federal crime. The committee has said there is evidence that Bannon “had specific knowledge about the events planned for Jan. 6 before they occurred."

Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., stops to look at damage in the early morning hours of Thursday, Jan. 7, 2021, after protesters stormed the Capitol in Washington, on Wednesday. ”Make no mistake: these mass riots were not First Amendment activities; they were criminal riotous behavior.

(AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana)WASHINGTON – Lawmakers are vowing an investigation into how law enforcement handled Wednesday’s violent breach at the Capitol, questioning whether a lack of preparedness allowed a mob to occupy and vandalize the building. U.S. Capitol Police, who are charged with protecting Congress, turned to other law enforcement for help with the mob that overwhelmed the complex and sent lawmakers into hiding.
