Thursday will mark the fifth recent public hearing of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Committee chair Rep. Bennie Thompson said the hearing was set to focus on former President Trump's attempts to influence the Justice Department to help him overturn the 2020 presidential election.
"Just as we heard today that Donald Trump was deeply involved in the scheme to pressure state officials to overturn the election results, we will hear on Thursday that Donald Trump was also the driving force behind an effort to corrupt the Justice Department," Thompson said during Tuesday's hearing.
CBS News will broadcast the hearing as a special report at 3 p.m. Eastern, led by "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell.
