The pro- Trump crowdstormed the U.S. Capitol after the president's rally in Washington, DC.
The House panel investigating the deadly invasion of the U.S. Capitol wants to hold lengthy public hearings next year.
The vice chair of the select committee and one of its two Republican members said the panel aims to conduct multiple weeks of public hearings sometime in 2022, a year of crucial midterm elections where the GOP hopes to regain majority control of at least one chamber of Congress.
Cheney said in the House Rules Committee hearing that the hearings would lay out what happened at the White House and the Capitol.
Cheney revealed the plans less than a day after the select committee voted to advance contempt proceedings for former Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark over his alleged defiance of a subpoena for documents and testimony.
The investigators voted unanimously to recommend that the House hold Clark in contempt. McGovern said Thursday morning that his panel wouldn't rule on the report until Clark appeared before the investigators on Saturday.
Clark is the second Trump associate to be accused of contempt of Congress for not complying with subpoenas. The first person to be indicted by a federal grand jury was former White House senior advisor Steve Bannon. He has denied the charges.
Cheney has been criticized by both the former president and many of her Republican colleagues for her constant criticism of Trump.
Cheney was stripped of her leadership role after she criticized Trump for spreading a false conspiracy theory that the 2020 election was rigged against him.
Hundreds of Trump's supporters went to the Capitol and forced Congress into hiding, claiming they wanted to reverse President Joe Biden's victory in the election.
Even as he hints he may run for president again in 2024, Trump continues to spread baseless conspiracy theories about election fraud and never conceded to Biden. In the House, Trump was impeached for inciting the attempted insurrection, but he was acquitted in the Senate where 60 votes are required for conviction.
