Jan. 6 committee aims for June hearings on Capitol attack. Will they affect the 2022 elections?

• The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack plans hearings in June and a fall report.
• The tentative schedule will put a spotlight on Donald Trump amid primaries and general election.
• The 2022 election will determine control of Congress, but impact of the House probe is tough to gauge.

WASHINGTON – The House committee investigating the Capitol attack expects to hold hearings in June and produce a report of its findings by fall, a schedule that will throw the findings into the political battles of party primaries and the general election determining control of Congress.

Members of the committee have acknowledged the urgency of their investigation into what led to the attack Jan. 6, 2021, what happened that day and how to prevent it from occurring again. But legal battles, including one from former President Donald Trump that went all the way to the Supreme Court, have delayed the committee’s work as new lines of inquiry emerged.
