What to expect from the Jan. 6 Committee hearings

Dear Ohio - Politics, Issues, and People

The select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol will begin a series of public hearings June 9 to outline its findings. In the 17 months since supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol to stop the certification of the 2020 election, the committee has interviewed more than 1,000 people and subpoenaed five Republican members of Congress, including Ohio’s Jim Jordan.

Spectrum News 1 Washington Bureau Reporter Taylor Popielarz guest hosts and speaks with two Ohio political scientists, David Cohen of the University of Akron and Robert Alexander of Ohio Northern University, who study democracy and have been outspoken about it since the Capitol insurrection.
