6th capitol hill riot. welcome back to our coverage. we watch the committee room in washington, d.c. i m bill hemmer. thank you for joining us. dana: i m dana perino. right now multiple public hearings will take place over the course of the next few weeks. today the hearing will focus on claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election. beginning on election day and then culminating with the riot on january 6. bill: we anticipate previously unseen documents. perhaps some video and audio. earlier this we ll hear from four witnesses we believe through the course of this hearing which should last two hours. dana: here you have the chair of the committee going to kick this off here and follow close behind is liz cheney from wyoming. she has been stalwart in her opinions from the beginning and now she is going to work with bennie thompson on this and get it going. chris stirewalt is the first
