Both the House and the Senate will hold hearings next week into the Jan. 6 events. According to CNN, the House hearings, held by the committees for Intelligence, Oversight, Homeland Security and Judiciary, will focus on three issues: what the federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies knew before, during, and after Jan. 6; how “foreign adversaries” exploited the events; and what is being done about so-called “domestic terrorism.”
The Senate investigation will be under Homeland Security, Government Affairs and Rules.
CNN reports that the FBI and the intelligence community began providing documents on Feb. 19 to the various committees.
The committees have invited Metropolitan Police acting Chief Robert Contee, former House Sergeant at Arms Paul Irving, former Senate Sergeant at Arms Michael Stenger, and former United States Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund to testify. Sund said in a letter to Congressional leaders that he had requested the Sergeants at Arms to deploy National Guard ahead of Jan. 6, requests that were denied.
