Congress will tonight begin its committee hearings on the events leading up to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, WPLN reports. Nearly 20 Tennesseans have been charged for their part in the insurrection against certifying the 2020 presidential election. Several are still awaiting sentencing. Most of those who have been sentenced are facing three years of probation after pleading to a misdemeanor. One man, Nicholas Brockhoff, who was seen spraying officers with a fire extinguisher before entering the Capitol through a broken window, has remained behind bars since May 2021. WPLN has the status of each Tennessean who has been charged.
