House Democrats are reconvening a special committee for a hearing to mark the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and criticize the Trump administration for trying to "white-wash" history.

In a Dear Colleague letter, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Democratic members of the Jan. 6 select committee will hold a "special hearing" on the 5th anniversary of the Capitol building assault to "honor" first responders and "expose the election deniers who hold high-level positions of influence in the executive branch."

“At the hearing, we will examine ongoing threats to free and fair elections posed by an out-of-control Trump administration, expose the election deniers who hold high-level positions of significance in the executive branch and detail the threats to public safety posed by the hundreds of violent felons who were pardoned on the President’s first day in office,” the New York Democrat wrote.

“We will also present a panel of members who wish to share their personal experiences from that horrific day,” Jeffries said, calling on members "who wish to share their personal experiences from that horrific day."
