INSURRECTION HEARING STARTS THURSDAY
The House Committee investigating the January 6 insurrection holds the first of six public hearings on Thursday, June 9, at 5 pm Pacific time. Live streaming starts at 4 pm by the Washington Post here.  

Chairman Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.) and Vice Chairwoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) will launch a series of televised hearings featuring a combination of live witnesses, pretaped interviews with figures that include Trump family members and previously unseen video footage gathered during its 10-month investigation.


The hearings will show how former President Donald Trump and his allies worked  to overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election, spreading lies about widespread voter fraud — widely debunked by judges and his own administration — that fueled a violent assault on the seat of our democracy.

Today, Monday, June 6, at 8 am, key committee member Representative Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) will talk about what questions the committee still has and what they know and don’t know about what Donald Trump was doing that day. Watch live: wapo.st/raskinjune2022.

The June 9 INCO South County Community Group meeting is canceled because it  conflicts with the hearing about the January 6 insurrection. We encourage everyone to watch or listen to the hearing.
