and to, quote, connect the dots between the former president s election lies and the violence that unfolded that day. images are still so shocking. tonight is expected to include never before seen video leading up to the capitol attack and as it unfolded, as well as clips of taped interviews with trump administration officials and family members, their testimony. we also expect to hear live witness testimony from two people who had an upclose view of the rioters. and this is just the first round. more hearings are scheduled over the several weeks coming with the committee releasing a final report in september, that, of course, a couple of months before the midterms. let s begin with lauren fox on capitol hill. so, lauren, walk us through what we expect on the first day of these hearings tonight. reporter: well, this is the first opportunity for this committee to come back after months of work behind closed doors. we expect all of this is going to kick off with an opening
