Jan. 6 Committee Postpones Listening to With Ex-Justice Dept. Officers

The listening to had been set for Wednesday, however the committee on Tuesday morning stated that it had been postponed. It didn’t give a cause or a brand new date for the listening to.

The subsequent listening to is ready to happen on Thursday.

The witnesses at Wednesday’s listening to had been to incorporate Jeffrey Rosen, who was the performing legal professional normal on the time of the Capitol riot, in addition to two different former high officers, Richard Donoghue and Steven Engel. Legal professionals for all three males didn’t instantly return messages looking for remark.

They had been anticipated to testify a couple of tense Jan. 3, 2021 assembly on the White Home during which then-President Donald Trump weighed whether or not to interchange Rosen with a lower-ranking official, Jeffrey Clark, who had expressed a willingness to champion Trump’s bogus claims of voting fraud. Trump deserted the thought when a number of Justice Division and White Home attorneys advised him that they might resign if that occurred.
