House Resolution 503 tasked the Select Committee with examining the facts surrounding the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol Complex. The Committee conducted nine public hearings and gathered testimony from over 70 witnesses. Their investigation started with claims about election fraud and included testimony from the President's key advisors. The report examines more than 60 court decisions that rejected attempts to overturn the electoral results. Hundreds of January 6th participants have entered guilty pleas, faced conviction, or await trial for their actions. Many others have explained their motivations for traveling to Washington and participating in violence. This hardcover edition presents the Committee's findings, conclusions, and recommendations for preventing future attacks on democratic institutions.
