The House select committee investigating the events of January 6, 2021, held its first public hearing on June 9, with a second hearing to be held on June 13.
Throughout the first hearing, testimonies were given by witnesses present during the Capitol attack. These included U.S. Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards, who described a pro-Trump mob's breach of the the Capitol building's west front as "an absolute war zone."
Edwards testified to the House January 6 committee how she and other officers were overpowered by the mob.
Liz Cheney has stated that the attack was one example of many threats to democracy, and that there was an "extremely broad" and "extremely well-organized" conspiracy by Former President Donald Trump to overturn the 2020 election results.
The second committee hearing will feature additional testimonies.
