Jan. 6 hearing to recreate Trump's state of mind during riot without testimony by former president, top allies

foxnews.com:

The House Jan. 6 committee will hold a hearing Thursday focusing on former President Donald Trump's state of mind leading up to the January 2021 assault on the U.S.

Capitol, despite not receiving testimony during the panel's 15-month tenure from the ex-commander-in-chief or top associates linked to efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

A committee aide told Fox News Digital that Thursday's hearing would not include live witnesses but rather showcase new evidence from U.S.

Secret Service records and testimony as well as video of efforts to respond to the violence in real time. "We're going to bring a particular focus on the former president's state of mind and his involvement in these events as they unfolded," said the aide. "What you're going to see is a synthesis of some evidence we've already presented with new, never-before-seen information to illustrate Donald Trump's centrality was key." The committee will try to recreate the former president's state of mind leading up to and during the riot, despite his refusal to cooperate with the committee.Trump has not only rejected overtures to testify before the panel, but he has called on allies and former staffs to do likewise.
