The House of Representatives select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol released its full report on the night of Dec. 22, 2022. According to reports from the Associated Press, the committee’s eight-chapter, 845-page report described the “multi-part plan” by then-President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election results.

The panel interviewed more than 1,000 witnesses and held 10 hearings. The committee also obtained millions of pages of documents during its investigation.

Several Georgians, and people with Georgia ties, were reportedly involved in the attack.

According to information from the Department of Justice, on Jan. 6, 2021, at least 17 people from Georgia were among more than 700 people that were arrested or charged in the federal investigation. Including a Georgia attorney and a Smyrna businessman.
