The next phase of the Jan. 6 investigation

The House Select Committee investigating the January 6th insurrection has been gathering evidence for almost nine months.

They’ve said little in public. But:

"There’s some incredibly damning information that has already come out," journalist Garrett Graff says. "They think that they have enough to sustain a criminal charge against President Trump, but the next phase is going to focus on how to tell that story to the American people."

Public hearings are coming soon. Can the committee make a convincing case to the American people?
