What the Jan. 6 select committee's final report will look like

The final report, according to those briefed on it, will have eight chapters that align closely with the evidence the panel unveiled during its public hearings in June and July:


     Trump's effort to sow distrust in the results of the election
     Trump's pressure on state governments or legislatures to overturn victories by Joe Biden
     Trump campaign efforts to send pro-Trump electors to Washington from states won by Biden
     Trump's push to deploy the Justice Department in service of his election scheme
     The pressure campaign by Trump and his lawyers against then-Vice President Mike Pence
     Trump's effort to summon supporters to Washington who later fueled the Jan. 6 mob
     The 187 minutes during which Trump refused to tell rioters to leave the Capitol
     An analysis of the attack on the Capitol


A person familiar with the drafting of the report emphasized that the report itself may not be limited to an executive summary and the eight chapters and is also expected to include appendices that capture more aspects of the committee's investigation.
