JUST IN: The House Jan. 6 committee plans to hold a vote on whether to subpoena former President Trump during today's hearing, sources tell ABC News.
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol Attack unveiled new details about the 2021 attackThe House Jan. 6 committee has subpoenaed Donald Trump for his testimony about the 2021 Capitol attack.
Before that, the panel showed previously unseen footage of congressional leaders phoning officials for help during the assault. "Their plan is literally to kill people," read a tip that was sent to Secret Service more than a week before the violence on Jan. 6. Statements from Thompson and Cheney were laden with language frequently seen in criminal indictments. Both lawmakers described Trump as "substantially" involved in the events of Jan. 6. Cheney said Trump had acted in a "premeditated" way.
To describe the president's mindset, the committee divulged new material, including interviews with Trump's top Cabinet officials, aides and associates in which some described the president acknowledging that he had lost. White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, a top aide to then-chief of staff Mark Meadows, recalled Trump as being "livid" and "fired up" about the court's ruling.
Another committee member, Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., a retired Naval commander, is in a tough reelection bid against state Sen. Jen Kiggans, a former Navy helicopter pilot. This week's hearing is to be the final presentation from lawmakers before the midterm elections. But staff members say the investigation continues.
