For the fifth hearing—and the final one this month before more are rolled out in July—the Jan. 6 committee is poised to present evidence to the nation about the attempted capture and corruption of the Department of Justice by former President Donald Trump in his bid to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Testimony is expected to stretch for roughly two hours from a panel of three witnesses: former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, former Deputy Acting Attorney General Richard Donoghue, and Steven Engel, the former lead at the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel.

The committee will share evidence it says demonstrates how Trump pushed to have the department state publicly that there was widespread election fraud where there was none. Live testimony and interviews from previously recorded depositions with witnesses like former Attorney General Bill Barr will also explore how Trump angled to have the department file lawsuits on his behalf so his failed fraud allegations would appear credible.

All of this, the committee argues, was done in hopes of obstructing the Joint Session of Congress on Jan. 6, 2021, so the 45th president could remain in power though he lost both the popular and Electoral College vote to now-President Joe Biden.
