The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on Capitol Hill will hold another hearing next week, the group's chairman said Tuesday, suggesting that it could be the last time they convene publicly.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., told reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday that the committee will hold its final hearing on Sept. 28 at 1 p.m. ET.
"I can say that unless something else develops, this hearing at this point is the final hearing. But it's not in stone because things happen," Thompson said.
He added that the committee hearing will feature "substantial footage" of the riot and "significant witness testimony" that hasn't previously been released, but he declined to divulge any details or the topic.
The hearing, should it be the last one, could mark a crescendo of the panel's work before it releases a final investigative report, which is expected later this year.
