Expect details of Trump's effort to visit the Capitol and possible obstruction of the investigation.
In the summary of its report released earlier this week, the panel revealed it is aware of "multiple efforts by President Trump to contact Select Committee witnesses," adding that DOJ is aware "of at least one of those circumstances."
"Certain witnesses and lawyers were unnecessarily combative, answered hundreds of questions with variants of 'I do not recall' in circumstances where that answer seemed unbelievable, appeared to testify from lawyer-written talking points rather than their own recollections, provided highly questionable rationalizations or otherwise resisted telling the truth," the panel added.
The committee wrote that it "has significant concerns about the credibility of this testimony" and vowed to release his transcript publicly. Ornato did not recall conveying the information to Hutchinson or a White House employee with national security responsibilities, according to the report. "The Committee is skeptical of Ornato's account.
The committee has started handing over evidence and transcripts to the Justice Department, according to two sources familiar with the matter. DOJ initially asked the panel for all of its transcripts back in May, but committee members, particularly Thompson, felt strongly the depositions were the property of the committee.The former president's legal team will be interested in viewing the committee transcripts that get released in the coming days to examine whether the panel omitted presenting information publicly because it contradicted itself, a source familiar with Trump's January 6 legal team told CNN.
