With great solemnity and sadness, I'm announcing that the House will be establishing a select committee on the January 6th insurrection.

After January 6th, Congress announced that they were launching an investigation to figure out what happened and what went wrong that day.

From the very beginning, this committee has had very little support from Republicans.

An exception is Congresswoman Liz Cheney, one of the committee's two Republicans.

The Select Committee has now conducted over 800 interviews and depositions of witnesses who have knowledge of the events of January 6th.

After conducting hundreds of interviews and uncovering more than 100,000 records, people might wonder, well, what did they find out?

The thing that I would be viewing and treat to see is how much has the committee uncovered that we do not already know about what the former president did that day during the riots.

Josh Dossi is a political investigations reporter for the post.

Starting Thursday evening, the committee is going to hold a televised prime time hearings and Josh might actually get some answers.

I guess we'll see how much evidence they'd gather. It's kind of after 12 months of working on the shadows and doing thousands of interviews,

all sorts of deposition, subpoenas, phone records, all sorts of other investigative techniques. It's kind of time to see what they have now.

From the newsroom of the Washington Post, this is Post Reports. I'm Martine Powers. It's Wednesday, June 8th.

Today, we'll hear from Josh about the members of the president's inner circle that could testify for the first time.

And what the committee's findings could mean for the Republican politicians who built their brand defending the insurrection.

Then, later in the show, we follow up on Tuesday's election results in California.

In some ways, it is pretty surprising that here we are a year and a half after the attack and we're still learning new things about what was happening in the lead up and what was happening behind the scenes.

And in many ways, that seems to be the focus of these hearings that are getting started this week.

Can you talk about these hearings, what they are and why they're significant?

Well, we're learning a lot of new things, Martine, because key figures are testifying.
