On Jan. 6, 2021, a mob of Donald Trump supporters, white supremacists, and "Proud Boys" participated in a riot on the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. The attack sought to overturn former president Trump's loss in the 2020 presidential election by disrupting the counting process. The riot resulted in the loss of life, several injuries, and property damage over the course of several hours. In total, more than 820 people were charged after the fact, including officials running for public office.
The first public insurrection hearing is set to begin on June 9. It will be the first in a series of several hearings that are expected to last well into July of 2022. Here's where you can watch the insurrection hearings and what to expect.
