The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot said its next hearing will focus on how former President Donald rump’s failure to quell the violent mob for several hours showed a “supreme dereliction of duty.
”The committee’s eighth public hearing, expected to air in prime time July 21, marks its last scheduled presentation of evidence implicating rump in a multi-pronged conspiracy to overturn his 2020 election loss that culminated in the deadly invasion.
This final hearing will highlight the more-than-three-hour gap between rump’s departure from a rally that preceded the riot on Jan. 6, 2021, and his eventual call for the mob to go home, committee members said.

The hearing is tomorrow....should be a block buster...
It's all about 187 minutes.
That's the period of a little more than three hours as the riot unfolded in the US Capitol that the House select committee has argued then-President Donald rump was derelict in his duties.
The committee says it plans to show, minute-by-minute, how the rump failed to make any effort to tell the rioters to leave the Capitol or to try to help lawmakers -- and then-Vice President Mike Pence -- as they were forced to flee the House and Senate chambers.
