The House panel investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol last year has called its next hearing for July 12 where it is expected to lay out evidence on how the pro-Trump mob was organized, assembled and financed.
The public hearing, the panel's seventh, is set for 10 a.m. EDT.

No witnesses have been unveiled. But one of the panel's members, Democrat Adam Schiff of California, said on "Face the Nation" Sunday the hearing "will be focused on the efforts to assemble that mob on the mall, who was participating, who was financing it, how it was organized, including the participation of these white-nationalist groups like the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters and others."
The Proud Boys are a far-right extremist group that describes itself as “Western chauvinists” or “men who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world,” according to the Department of Justice. The Southern Poverty Law Center designates the Proud Boys a hate group, citing white supremacist and racist rhetoric from many of its members.
