'Don't expect the Mueller report': Video to play key part in Jan. 6 hearings and report
For months, the House select committee investigating the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol has been busy preparing for its upcoming hearings and finalizing plans for a public report later this year.
But those hearings and that report are unlikely to be dense, text-heavy presentations. Instead, video evidence and multimedia elements are expected to be critical to both efforts, according to four people familiar with the ongoing discussions.
"Don't expect the Mueller report," one of the people said, referring to special counsel Robert Mueller's 448-page report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and the conduct of former President Donald Trump and his advisers.
The committee's strategy is driven by members' desire to break through with Americans who might feel they already know the story of the Capitol assault and of Trump's push to claim victory — even after President Joe Biden was declared the winner of the 2020 election. Recent committee discussions have focused on how to capture the nation's attention and ensure that their findings resonate on broadcast and social media, the people said.
