The panel has not revealed the topic of the hearing, which will start at 1 p.m. ET and will mark the panel’s sixth hearing this month.
The committee did not reveal the witness list or topic but said it would “present recently obtained evidence and receive witness testimony.”

It is concerned about the security of a potential witness ahead of Tuesday’s hearing, a source familiar with the panel’s plans told CNN. The safety of the witness and the proceedings in general is in part why the committee has been so secretive about who will appear on Tuesday and what topics will be discussed.
The security concerns have also led to new precautions being taken inside the hearing room. Another source told CNN that some of the people who had regular front row seats for hearings were told they likely will not get them on Tuesday for security reasons.
In its first five hearings, the committee laid out how former President Donald Trump knew he lost the 2020 presidential election but pressured former Vice President Mike Pence, state officials, and the Department of Justice to work to keep him in office anyway. Members on the committee previously laid out that its final two hearings would focus on the role domestic extremist groups played in attacking the Capitol on January 6 and would fill in the gaps of what Trump was doing as the violence at the Capitol unfolded.
Holder’s “Unprecedented” three-part docuseries about the 2020 election will be released on Discovery Plus, which is owned by CNN’s parent company, later this summer. The documentary includes never-before-seen footage of the Trump family on the campaign trail and their reactions to the outcome of the election.
