The House select committee leading the probe into the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol has announced what could be their final investigative hearing this year.
That session is now set for next week on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at 1 p.m. This comes after the panel wrapped up blockbuster hearings earlier this summer focused on former President Donald Trump's role in the siege.
Committee members have said the hearing will cover new evidence that the panel has not yet shared with the public.
California Democratic Rep. Pete Aguilar, a member of the panel, said it could cover new evidence relating to former Vice President Mike Pence, who faced a pressure campaign from Trump pushing to overturn the 2020 elections.
"There's new information that we've received since our hearings that is helpful to our investigation and we look forward to sharing what's appropriate," Aguilar told NPR. "We still feel ... it would make the most sense for the former vice president come speak with us and we're still hopeful that that can happen. But we feel there's information still worth sharing and we plan to do that next week."

"Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has agreed to speak to the House select committee leading the probe into the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
The agreement has been confirmed by an attorney for Ginni Thomas and a source familiar with the committee's discussions who was not authorized to speak on the record. has announced what could be their final investigative hearing this year.
The plan to interview Thomas was announced shortly after the committee confirmed it will hold a public hearing next Wednesday, Sept. 28.
Committee members have previously suggested that any interview with Thomas might be held behind closed doors. And with the panel aiming to hold their last investigative presentation next week, it's possible they could speak with her after that date.
The committee had asked to interview Thomas about her communications with lawyer John Eastman, who was part of a campaign pushing then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject the 2020 election results during Congress' count of the Electoral College votes.
Her attorney Mark Paoletta released a written statement saying, "I can confirm that Ginni Thomas has agreed to participate in a voluntary interview with the Committee. As she has said from the outset, Mrs. Thomas is eager to answer the Committee's questions to clear up any misconceptions about her work relating to the 2020 election. She looks forward to that opportunity."...
