The hearing is reportedly scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. ET.

Thursday’s hearing is expected to focus on former President Donald Trum’s mindset after the 2020 election. “The committee is starting to sum up its findings: Trump, after losing the 2020 presidential election, launched an unprecedented attempt to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory,” The AP’s Lisa Mascaro, Mary Clare Jalonick and Farnoush Amiri write. “The result was the deadly mob siege of the Capitol.”

This will likely be the panel’s last public hearing before the November midterm elections.. “Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., is poised to gavel in Thursday’s session at an otherwise empty Capitol complex, with most lawmakers at home campaigning for reelection,” The AP reports, adding, “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 AP explains that the session will also serve as a “closing argument by the panel’s two Republican lawmakers, Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois.” Mascaro, Jalonick and Amiri write that Cheney and Kinzinger have “essentially been shunned by Trump and their party and will not be returning in the new Congress.” Cheney lost her primary election and Kinzinger decided not to run.

“Unlike past hearings,” The AP explains, “this one is not expected to feature live witnesses, though the panel is expected to share information from its recent interviews.” Click here to read more about what to expect from today’s hearing.
