WASHINGTON • The House of Representatives committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol is planning to hold its next hearing Sept. 28, the panel’s chairman said on Tuesday.

Rep. Bennie Thompson told reporters he expected the public hearing would be the panel’s last, unless something else happens.

The Democratic-led Select Committee held eight hearings over six weeks in June and July, disclosing the findings of its more than year-long probe of events surrounding the deadly assault on the seat of the government by supporters of former President Donald Trump.

In its earlier hearings — including one held in July 2021 — the panel made its case that, after losing the 2020 presidential election, Trump ignored close allies who told him his claims of widespread election fraud were untrue and then sat back and watched as followers who believed his false accusations stormed the Capitol.

A spokesman for the Select Committee declined comment, saying he had no schedule updates to report. The panel has not said when it will release its final report, although the document is widely expected to be made public before the Nov. 8 midterm elections, when control of Congress is up for grabs.
