While the details of the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol are well known, the commission is trying to tell the story of how it happened and how to prevent it from ever happening again. The televised hearings – which included videos of brutal beatings of police officers and right-wing extremists leading crowds to the Capitol – took place as some tried to downplay the violence. “We can not wipe out what happened under the rug,” said Bennie Thompson, a member of the committee’s chair, as he opened the first of a series of hearings. “The American people deserve answers.” Details from the committee’s first hearing on 6 January:
