Inside the Jan. 6 committee’s closing arguments – Axios

Category: Mike Pence

Don't hold your breath for surprise appearances from former Vice President Mike Pence, Justice Clarence Thomas' wife Ginni or self-proclaimed "dirty trickster" Roger Stone when the House Jan. 6 committee takes the stage again on Thursday.

The big picture: The committee's last hearing before the midterms, and perhaps ever, will focus overwhelmingly on one central antagonist former President Trump and won't feature live testimony, people familiar with the plans tell Axios.

What we're hearing: Lawmakers on the panel want to minimize ancillary players becoming a sideshow and keep the focus on evidence tying Trump to the attack.

Details: The panel will refocus on Trumps efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and his role in other events before, during and after the violence on Jan. 6.

Between the lines: The hearing also will serve as a closing moment on the congressional stage for the two Republicans on the panel Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) who are taking steps to solidify the legitimacy of their political leadership after being cast out of their party.
