The House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection is about to begin holding public hearings, and according to a reporter familiar with the what’s happening inside the committee, they will present evidence which incriminates former President Donald Trump and his two oldest sons, Don Jr. and Eric.
Appearing on MSNBC, Hugo Lowell of The Guardian noted that open hearings will allow the committee to lay out proof that Trump and members of his family directly coordinated with the insurrectionists:
Lowell added that so far the Jan. 6 panel has interviewed about 300 people and obtained more than 30,000 documents, including emails and text messages which implicate former White House officials and others connected to the ex-president:
The hearings will also increase pressure on the Justice Department, which can file criminal charges against anyone who violated federal law. And if attacking the seat of American government isn’t a crime, then what in the hell is?
