James Goldston is a documentary filmmaker who formerly ran the operations at Good Morning America and Nightline. He's now reportedly helping the Democrat-led Capitol riot committee shape its evidence in the upcoming hearings

A former news executive has been recruited by the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol to produce the Democrat-led panel's upcoming primetime hearing, a Monday report claims.

James Goldston is a former president of ABC News. Before that he ran the mammoth-sized operations at Good Morning America and Nightline as executive producer.

And he's now an adviser to the group of lawmakers who are set to present their case that Donald Trump's efforts to undermine democracy culminated in the deadly events of January 6, according to Axios.


The first of six hearings will be held on Thursday at 8pm ET, and will reportedly focus mainly on the day-to-day events of the riot and contextualize it in Trump and his allies' wider efforts to overturn the election.

Goldston, a documentary filmmaker who now runs his own production company Aquitania Films, is shaping the explosive event to be 'a blockbuster investigative special,' Monday's report states. What does is shaping the explosive event mean ?


He's aiming for a 'raw' presentation of evidence in an effort to give it a longer life in the news cycle and 'so that skeptical journalists will find the material fresh.' so skeptics will see fresh material, not sure what that means
The former executive is also reportedly hoping to attract viewers outside of those who had already been following the committee's investigation.

Among the tranche of evidence Goldston is working with are apparently never-before-seen White House photographs from the day of the riot as well as videotaped depositions with key witnesses. will all witnesses tesimony be presented or jsut a few??

That includes footage from Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's hours-long testimonies in front of the committee which insiders told the Washington Post will make for 'gripping television.'

Footage from inside the Capitol that day, reportedly only a fraction of which has been made public so far, will also be shown. only what they want shown. will they show the guy opening the doors from inside the building
