is holding a primetime hearing Thursday night, this time zeroing in on the 187 minutes between when rioters descended on the Capitol that day and former President Donald Trump's first public statement condemning the attack.
Matthew Pottinger, a former National Security Council official, and Sarah Matthews, a former deputy White House press secretary, are testifying Thursday. They both resigned in the immediate aftermath of the attack. The committee will also present additional information about Trump returning to the White House against his wishes after the Ellipse speech ended, a committee aide said]. The aide would not disclose whether the committee has interviewed Anthony Ornato, deputy chief of staff for operations, or Secret Service agent Robert Engel, who were both mentioned by White House aidewhen she testified to the committee that Trump had demanded to be taken to the Capitol during the riot.
The hearing will also cover how law enforcement turned the tide against the rioters around 4 p.m., and the committee will go over what happened in the White House for the remainder of the day, the creation of the Rose Garden video, the president's tweets he sent later that day and the fallout the day after the attack.
