Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) has been given the opportunity to deliver an opening statement at a select committee hearing investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
According to a source familiar with the plan, Cheney will deliver her opening statement on Tuesday following Rep. Bennie Thompson’s (D-Miss.), as The Hill reports.
The hearing will also include testimony from four police officers present at the Capitol on January 6, including Harry Dunn, Aquilino Gonell, Michael Fanone, and Daniel Hodges.
Tom Manger, the new chief of the U.S. Capitol Police, told CNN he would “absolutely” allow his officers to discuss what happened on January 6 because “they need to be heard.”
A group of House Republicans has called for Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) to be punished for joining the committee.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced that she would be adding Kinzinger to the committee on Sunday, as IJR reported.
