WASHINGTON (AP) — The chairman of the House committee investigating the Capitol insurrection says the committee has interviewed about 250 people so far.

Committee members and staff have conducted the interviews in private, and most witnesses have complied voluntarily. Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson disclosed the number of private interviews as he tried to make the case at a House hearing Thursday for contempt charges against a former Justice Department official from the Trump administration.
