January 6 attack

Former Republican candidate for Michigan governor Ryan Kelley has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for his participation in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

A former Republican candidate for Michigan governor who was at the U.S. Capitol during the 2021 riot has reached a plea agreement and will avoid a trial, his attorney said Thursday.

A House panel investigating the attack on the Capitol holds its ninth public hearing, potentially the final one ahead of the release of its wrap-up report.

For 187 minutes, pressure mounted for the president to call off the mob and tell rioters to stop. Witnesses say Trump escalated the violence with a tweet and watched the violence unfold on TV.

At the hearing's end, House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol members unanimously voted to subpoena the former president.

On Thursday, Ryan Kelley was charged with four misdemeanors related to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He's one of five candidates on the Republican primary ballot for governor.

A U.S. House Committee says they're seeking information from ex-Michigan Republican Chairwoman Laura Cox about efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Seven Democrats and two Republicans — all selected by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — make up the committee tasked with investigating the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
