The source said Monday that the committee has decided to take a step back and plan for the hearing at a later date.
“We are going to be connecting the dots during these hearings between these groups and those who were trying — in government circles — to overturn the election. So, we do think that this story is unfolding in a way that is very serious and quite credible,” said Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren of California, a member of the committee, in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”
Lofgren said the Tuesday hearing will zero in on connections between the Trump administration and militia groups such as the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys. She acknowledged that Roger Stone, a Trump ally, and Michael Flynn, Trump’s onetime national security adviser, could be two of those connections, among others.
Jason Van Tatenhove, a former spokesperson and self-described “propagandist” for the Oath Keepers, is expected to testify on Tuesday, a source familiar with the hearing plans confirmed to CNN on Sunday. Van Tatenhove told Colorado TV station KDVR of his invitation last week.
