WASHINGTON – The House committee investigating the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, announced its next hearing will be Oct. 13 at 1 p.m.

After eight blockbuster hearings in June and July, the panel had to postpone a hearing set for Sept. 28 because of Hurricane Ian.

The committee hasn't announced its agenda or witnesses. But committee members have discussed information dealing with political operative Roger Stone, how  much members of former President Donald Trump's Cabinet discussed removing him from office, fake electors the Trump campaign organized in states President Joe Biden won, and Trump fundraising after the 2020 election.

The chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., has told reporters the hearing would cover information developed since the last hearings.

"The Select Committee has developed a massive body of evidence," Thompson said in a statement Sept. 12. "It hasn’t always been easy... because the same people who drove the former President’s pressure campaign to overturn the election are now trying to cover up the truth about Jan. 6th."

The committee interviewed Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Sept. 29. And the panel announced Sept. 1 it wants to hear from Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker and conservative firebrand, about his contract with senior Trump advisers about television ads amplifying claims of election fraud in 2020.

The committee's final report is expected in the fall.

The committee held eight hearings featuring testimony from former Trump aides, who  described how he knew the mob he spurred to the Capitol included people carrying guns. Lawyers and campaign staffers testified about Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. And former administration and campaign officials revealed they told Trump repeatedly he lost.

The committee also sought to speak again with two Secret Service officials who protected Trump – Anthony Ornato, who has since retired, and Robert Engel – after former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson's dramatic testimony. She said Ornato told her Trump wanted to join the mob at the Capitol and tried to grab the wheel of his vehicle and lunged at Engel. But neither has returned to testify under oath.
