Washington — The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol will hold its next public hearing Oct. 13, the committee announced Thursday, less than a month before voters head to the polls for the November midterm elections.
The hearing is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET and comes after the House panel postponed a Sept. 28 hearing as Hurricane Ian was barreling down on Florida's southwest coast. One of the committee's members, Rep. Stephanie Murphy, is a Democrat whose Florida district includes part of Orlando.
Last week, the committee met with Ginni Thomas, a conservative activist and the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, behind closed doors. The panel's chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, told reporters after her more than four-hour-long interview that she answered "some questions," and said her answers will be included in the next hearing if she provided investigators with "something of merit."
