Excerpts of Jan. 6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson’s opening remarks were released shortly before the prime time hearing was set to begin.

“We can’t sweep what happened under the rug. The American people deserve answers,” Thompson’s opening remarks will state. “So tonight, and over the next few weeks, we’re going to remind you of the reality of what happened that day.”

“But our work must do much more than just look backwards.
