The House committee on Tuesday held a sixth public hearing about the Jan. 6 attack at the Capitol and will reveal new evidence and testimony from a top Trump White House staffer.
Three sources tell NBC News that Cassidy Hutchinson, a senior aide to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, is expected to testify.
The last-minute hearing is set for 1 p.m. The panel previously indicated that there would be no more hearings until July, which was a surprise addition to the schedule.
The earlier hearings have dealt with a different aspect of the events surrounding the riot, with the most recent focusing on President Donald Trump's efforts to pressure the Justice Department to upend the 2020 election results.

Missed the last hearing? Here is what you need to know The Jan. 6 committee focused its fifth hearing on then-President Donald Trump's efforts to pressure the Justice Department to help in his campaign to overturn the 2020 election. The efforts, public and private, culminated in an Oval Office meeting just days ahead of the Jan. 6 riot in which top Justice officials threatened to resign if Trump went through with a plan to install Jeffrey Clark atop the agency because he was willing to assist in Trump's plans. Three former Justice Department officials who were rebuffed by Trump were Jeffrey Rosen, the acting attorney general, Richard Donoghue, the acting deputy attorney general, and Steven Engel, who led the department's Office of Legal Counsel. The last one this month after the committee decided to push the final scheduled hearings into July, a move that lawmakers said would allow more time to process new information. Cassidy Hutchinson, who was a senior aide to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, is scheduled to testify Tuesday at a Jan. 6 committee hearing, three sources tell NBC News. In a recorded testimony last week, Hutchinson told investigators that a group of GOP lawmakers had sought presidential pardons after the insurrection at the Capitol, including Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida and Mo Brooks of Alabama. WASHINGTON - The Jan. 6 committee will hold a last-minute public hearing Tuesday to present new evidence and hear witness testimony, after previously saying it would take a break in mid-July. The hearing is scheduled for Tuesday at 1 p.m. According to an advisory the committee sent out Monday, it was ET. The committee did not identify the witness in an unusual move, as it did for previous hearings. A source familiar with the hearing said that there is new evidence that is coming to the committee's attention on an almost daily basis. The committee was planning to work this week in preparation for the final two hearings, so this is unplanned. There will be a lot of significance to the hearing, you can deduce from that.
