众议院特别委员会调查2021年1月6日国会山的暴乱该组织主席周二表示，下周将举行另一场听证会，暗示这可能是他们最后一次公开开会。
众议员本尼·汤普森。周二，他在国会大厦告诉记者，该委员会将于美国东部时间9月28日下午1点举行最后一次听证会。
“我可以说，除非出现其他情况，否则这次听证会是最后一次听证会。但这并不是一成不变的，因为事情总会发生，”汤普森说。
他补充说，委员会听证会将展示骚乱的“大量镜头”和以前没有公布的“重要证人证词”，但他拒绝透露任何细节或主题。
如果这是最后一次听证会，那么在预计今年晚些时候发布最终调查报告之前，它可能标志着该委员会工作的高潮。
听证会到目前为止已经展示了多个令人震惊的时刻，包括唐纳德·特朗普总统的一系列前助手和助手，讲述了他在2020年竞选失败后以及1月6日支持者骚乱之前和期间的心态。
根据听证会上的证词，特朗普知道华盛顿的抗议者当天持有武器，但仍敦促他们向国会大厦游行，并在他被禁止加入该团体时做出了愤怒的反应。(特朗普否认有不当行为，并表示该委员会是出于政治动机。)
该小组正在争取在下届国会开始前完成工作，外界猜测众议院共和党多数派将完全放弃调查。
一些悬而未决的问题仍然存在，比如哪些证人可能被传唤，以及委员会调查人员是否会敦促川普或前副总统迈克·彭斯作证。该委员会还致函前众议院议长纽特·金里奇(Newt Gingrich)，寻求在国会大厦遇袭前后与特朗普团队沟通的信息和记录。
该委员会采访了几名与特朗普有联系的人或在他的政府中任职的人，包括几名前内阁秘书，他们的证词尚未公开。
下周的听证会将是该委员会自1998年以来的首次联邦调查局搜查了特朗普的Mar-a-Lago度假村因为他持有政府所说的高度机密文件。
House Jan. 6 committee chairman confirms date for the likely final hearing
The House select committeeinvestigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on Capitol Hillwill hold another hearing next week, the group's chairman said Tuesday, suggesting that it could be the last time they convene publicly.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., told reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday that the committee will hold its final hearing on Sept. 28 at 1 p.m. ET.
"I can say that unless something else develops, this hearing at this point is the final hearing. But it's not in stone because things happen," Thompson said.
He added that the committee hearing will feature "substantial footage" of the riot and "significant witness testimony" that hasn't previously been released, but he declined to divulge any details or the topic.
The hearing, should it be the last one, could mark a crescendo of the panel's work before it releases a final investigative report, which is expected later this year.
The hearings so far have alreadyfeatured multiple startling moments, including an array of former aides and associates of President Donald Trump recounting his state of mind after he lost the 2020 election and before and during the Jan. 6 riot by his supporters.
According to testimony at the hearing, Trump knew protesters in Washington were armed that day but still urged them to march to the Capitol and reacted angrily when he was barred from joining the group. (Trump has denied wrongdoing and said the committee is politically motivated.)
The panel is racing to finish its work before the next Congress starts up amid speculation that a House GOP majority would scrap the investigation entirely.
Outstanding questions remain over what witnesses may be called and whether committee investigators will press Trump or former Vice President Mike Pence to testify. The committee has also sent a letter to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich seeking information and records over communications with Trump's team before and after the attack on the Capitol.
The committee has interviewed several people linked to Trump or who served in his administration, including several former Cabinet secretaries, whose testimonies have not yet been seen publicly.
Next week's hearing will be the committee's first sincethe FBI searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago resortover his possession of what the government says was highly classified documents.
