If ex-President Donald Trump wasn’t squirming in his skin before, we can pretty much guarantee that he is now.

We’ve known for some time now that the January 6th House Select Committee is set to soon go public with hearings that will see presentations of the evidence they have collected over the last year-plus in their investigation into the infamous, deadly Capitol attack, and the former president’s specific role in inciting the violence on that fateful day.

As such, the panel is currently compiling a witness list ahead of the upcoming public hearings that are currently scheduled to take place in June.

However, according to a bombshell report from CNN, as if things weren’t already bad enough for the scandal-ridden, one-term, twice-impeached former guy, these upcoming hearings are highly likely to include video clips of various testimonies recorded by the House Committee. Among those video clips that will likely soon go public, is footage of the secretive, behind-closed-door testimonies given to the panel by Donald Trump’s own children.

“While the setup of the hearings is still a work in progress and evolving, sources note, the presentations will likely feature video clips from January 6, as well as some of the nearly 1,000 interviews the committee has conducted behind closed doors. That could help the committee share more testimony, as well as deal with potentially recalcitrant witnesses,” the publication reports. “Among the witnesses whose testimony was videotaped were members of Trump’s family, including recent interviews with Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner.”

CNN actually reportedly spoke with numerous individuals who are expected to be called as witnesses in the hearings by the House panel, though none of them have said that the House Committee has officially called on them to testify publicly yet.

“At least one fact witness who has been deposed by the committee behind closed doors already told the panel they will refuse to testify publicly if asked, according to a source familiar with the matter,” CNN reports.

According to the outlet’s sources, former Justice Department officials Jeff Rosen and Richard Donoghue are expected to be called as witnesses in the upcoming public hearings, as well as Mike Pence’s former chief of staff, Marc Short, and former general counsel, Greg Jacob.

“Each of the committee’s nine members has been assigned to lead presentations of different topic areas, similar to how impeachment managers led certain portions of the two impeachment proceedings against Trump. One source close to the committee told CNN that the panel has drawn on experiences from Trump’s two impeachment proceedings. Those hearings have served as a model of both what to do and not to do,” the bombshell report reads. “The main goal of the committee in holding the hearings is to show that even though Trump was told repeatedly there was no election fraud, he continued to push forward with his campaign to overturn the election.”

It’s only a matter of time now, Donald. Your whole family is about to be exposed.
