Jan. 6 committee holds first primetime hearing with Capitol police testimony and Ivanka Trump clip

The House Select Committee investigating January 6 holds its first primetime televised hearing, broadcast on every major network except Fox News. The hearing opens with never-before-seen footage of the Capitol attack and features testimony from Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards, who was injured on the front line. The committee shows a videotaped deposition of Ivanka Trump saying she accepted Attorney General Bill Barr's conclusion that there was no widespread fraud in the 2020 election. Committee chair Bennie Thompson and vice chair Liz Cheney deliver opening statements framing the hearings as documenting Trump's "attempted coup." An estimated 20 million people watch.
