After 18 months of investigating the events and causes of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack, from more than 1,000 closed-door interviews and 10 public hearings, the special House committee is set to release its final report next week.

At the end of its planned meeting on Dec. 19, the committee will not only vote to approve its final report, but also on whether to make criminal referrals to the Justice Department as part of its probe. When it comes to holding anyone criminally responsible, the panel has not disclosed whom it might recommend for consideration. The panel’s full report will be released the same day as the meeting. The Jan. 6 committee is expecting to gavel in at 1:00 p.m. EST.

Join the PBS NewsHour's digital coverage beginning at 11:00 a.m. EST with a look back at key moments from the eight public hearings held over the summer and a look ahead to the committee's final meeting.
