It's been nearly a year of gathering information — via depositions, subpoenas, hearings, document dumps and court challenges — for the House select committee investigating the siege of the Capitol.

The House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol is holding the fifth in a series of what's expected to be 6 public hearings. The committee has interviewed hundreds of witnesses and collected tens of thousands of pages of documents as part of its investigation into the deadly attack.

The summary of the committee's report included criminal referrals for the former president, who inspired the deadly insurrection that took place nearly two years ago.

Opening statements began Monday in the trial of five members of the Oath Keepers accused of seditious conspiracy. Prosecutors say they wanted to use violence to overturn the results of the election.
