The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol is expected to hold the third in a series of public hearings starting at 1 p.m. ET on Thursday. In a tweet previewing the hearing, committee vice chair Rep. Liz Cheney said the panel will focus on "President Trump's relentless effort on Jan. 6 and in the days beforehand to pressure Vice President Pence to refuse to count lawful electoral votes." Pence's former counsel Greg Jacob is scheduled to appear. The committee has continued to lay out evidence showing Trump encouraged his supporters to descend on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, after peddling false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. On Monday, the committee also outlined how the Trump campaign and allies used baseless claims of election fraud to raise millions of dollars from Trump supporters, claiming it was needed to fund election-related lawsuits.
