The congressman shared the news on Sunday during an appearance on CBS News's Face the Nation, setting the stage for the second month of the panel's summer hearing slate.

"Our very next hearing will be focused on the efforts to assemble that mob on the Mall, who was participating, who was financing it, how it was organized, including the participation of these white nationalist groups like the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters, and others," Schiff told anchor Margaret Brennan."And so we'll be presenting information we have. We haven't answered all the questions that we have.

Brennan noted Cassidy Hutchinson, the former White House aide who testified to the Jan. 6 committee about her recollection of hearing about the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, and asked Schiff if there is corroborating evidence to show there was communication between those groups and the White House. "I don't want to get too far ahead of what we intend to present in our next hearings," Schiff replied.The Proud Boys describe themselves as a"pro-Western fraternal organization for men who refuse to apologize for creating the modern world." The Oath Keepers is a loosely organized group largely composed of former law enforcement and military personnel, according to the Justice Department.

Prosecutors have hit members of both groups with seditious conspiracy and other charges for their actions surrounding the Capitol riot. Rep. Bennie Thompson , chairman of the Jan. 6 committee, indicated in June that investigators have evidence to show the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers were in contact with members of former President Donald Trump's inner circle.

The rally on J6 wasn't a 'mob'. Trump held a peaceful rally on Jan 6, 2021 with over 30,000+ attending. During Trump's rally speech Trump said to peacefully protest. 99.9% of the 30,000+ rally goers listened, and only peacefully protested. *Even Chris Wray said that to Congress

GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger: More Witnesses, Evidence Surface In Jan. 6 ProbeKinzinger says more evidence is emerging that supports testimony that President Trump wanted to join an angry riot that marched to the Capitol. 🤣 Funny how they don't allow rebuttals from this TOTAL Trump-hating committee, like the Secret Service refuting Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony. 'Joining' a mob is not the same as 'Inciting' one. Dont get enamoured of evidence before you prove your point.
