Good evening and thank you for joining us. Our live coverage of tonights prime time hearing from the january 6th committee, nearly a year long investigation. But tonights hearing will focus on something very specific. Were told the committee will laser in on what former President Trump did not do as rioters were attacking the capitol. Those inside the white house describing the former white house watching it all on tv and, they say, failing to act. Members of the committee calling it a dereliction of duty. Theyll focus on the 187 minutes from the time the president finished speaking on the ellipse about 1 10 p. M. Eastern, where he urged supporters to go to the capitol.

Telling those at the capitol to go home. We love you. Youre very special. Tonight we will hear indepth where the president was at the white
Order, i now recognize the gemma from illinois the gentleman from illinois. We left at the recess just after 2 24 attacking the Vice President.

Because i am still quarantined, i cannot participate in person with my colleagues. I have asked the vice chair to provide preside over this in his hearings.
