“We can’t sweep what happened under the rug,” Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., plans to say in his opening remarks, according to an excerpt provided by the committee. So I come before you this evening not as a Democrat, but as an American who swore an oath to defend the Constitution. Thompson and Vice Chairwoman Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., are expected to provide more details at Thursday’s hearing about who will testify at those hearings and the topics they will cover. Pelosi asked Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., to serve so the committee would be bipartisan and have a quorum.
