Congressman Bennie Thompson, who chairs the Homeland Security Committee, has revealed there will be at least eight public Capitol riot hearings beginning in June, and that the committee will ask Republican House and Senate members to participate.
NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent Ali Vitali spoke with Mr Thompson, who confirmed that both former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump Jr would be asked to participate in the hearings.
Mr Thompson said the committee would begin requesting the Republicans' participation this week.
The congressman said the hearings would be a “mixture” of daytime and evening hearings.
“We’ll tell the story about what happened,” he said. “It will give the public the benefit of what more than a year’s worth of investigation has borne to the committee.”

..."The select House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot will hold at least eight public hearings starting June 9 and will send requests this week for testimony to several GOP lawmakers, including three House members who previously refused to cooperate, the panel’s chairman said Thursday.
The committee also plans to send new interview requests to several other Republicans, including at least one senator, committee Chair Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., told reporters.
Thompson wouldn’t say who the panel wanted to interview beyond House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, and Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry, all of whom have previously refused to testify."...

I think the Republicans have better things to do than waste their time on this commission or committee.
