About this Event
This event is part of the Jesus College Oxford Cheng Kar Shun Digital Hub Events Programme.
Jesus College alumnus James Goldston (1986, PPE) was tasked with producing the January 6 hearings conducted by the Select Committee to investigate the January 6th attack on the US Capitol. The ten historic hearings led to headlines around the world, and played a key role in the legal processes that are now underway against former President Donald Trump.
The implications of the events of January 6 and the hearings that followed are now one of the central themes of this American election cycle. Goldston, a former President of ABC News, joins us to discuss how the hearings came to happen, and why they remain so central to the future of American politics.<h4>
