On this edition of next Your Call, we’ll discuss the January 6th committee hearings, which begin tonight at 5pm PT.
Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin said, "No president has ever come close to doing what happened here in terms of trying to organize an inside coup to overthrow an election and bypass the constitutional order."
The committee is expected to present new material documenting the attack, question witnesses, and provide the public with an initial summary of its findings about the coordinated effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election and prevent the transfer of power.
