Post Politics Now: Jan. 6 committee to hold hearing Tuesday on ‘recently obtained evidence’
Today, the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, unexpectedly announced a hearing for Tuesday afternoon, its sixth this month. In a statement, the bipartisan panel said it would “present recently obtained evidence and receive witness testimony.” More details are expected later.
Meanwhile, as fallout from last week’s Supreme Court ruling on abortion continues, President Biden is in Germany for an annual meeting of the Group of Seven, the world’s wealthiest democracies. On Monday, the leaders heard a virtual address from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and a senior U.S. official said G-7 leaders are close to an agreement on a global price cap for Russian oil shipments, a measure designed to disrupt a key source of funding for Russia’s war in Ukraine.
