region. we ll get a live report from kyiv. this afternoon the house january 6th committee will hold its fifth public hearing on what it has learned so far about the attack on the u.s. capitol. today s hearing will focus on how former president trump tried to use the justice department to help him overturn the results of the 2020 election but failed because of pushback and resignation threats, like this one from former acting deputy attorney general, richard donahue. the president said, suppose i do this, suppose i replace him, jeff rossen, with him, jeff clark. what do you do? i said, sir, i would resign immediately. there is no way i m serving one minute under this guy, jeff clark. donaghue will testify today as well as steve engel. adam kinzinger, one of two republicans on the panel, will lead today s questioning. committee chairman, bennie thompson, says the panel will wait until later next month to hold more hearings because it needs to look through new evidence it
