Timothy J. Heaphy, counsel and senior assistant attorney general at the University of Virginia, has been appointed to serve as chief investigative counsel for the congressional Select Committee on the Jan. 6 Attack on the United States Capitol.
Its good news for the Select Committee and for the American people that Mr. Heaphy has agreed to come on board as our top investigator, Thompson said in a statement issued by his office. Mr. Heaphy is a committed public servant with deep experience tackling complex and high-profile challenges. The Committee will need his expertise as we push ahead quickly on a number of fronts. Im grateful for his willingness to support the Committees work getting answers about Jan. 6 and protecting our democracy.
