Senate holds hearing on security breaches during Capitol riot - 2/23 (FULL LIVE STREAM)
The Senate committees on rules and homeland security will hold a joint hearing on the failures that led to the breach of the Capitol by pro-Trump rioters. Witnesses include:
- Acting Chief of Police Robert J. Contee
- Former chief of Capitol police Steven Sund
- Former Senate sergeant-at-arms Michael C. Stenger
- Former House sergeant-at-arms Paul D. Irving
Congressional leaders are also considering draft legislation for a bipartisan commission that would investigate the Jan. 6 attack.

Merrick Garland’s confirmation hearing for attorney general - 2/22 (FULL LIVE STREAM)
Merrick Garland, President Biden’s nominee for attorney general, will appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee for his confirmation hearing on Feb. 22.
Garland currently serves on the federal appeals court in the District. He is best known for being nominated to the Supreme Court in 2016 by President Barack Obama — a nomination that went nowhere because Senate Republicans refused to give him a hearing. The opening on the high court was eventually filled the following year by President Donald Trump’s choice, Neil M. Gorsuch.
