Ginni Thomas, the conservative activist and wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has agreed to be interviewed by the House select committee investigating the Capitol riot in the coming weeks.

"I can confirm that Ginni Thomas has agreed to participate in a voluntary interview with the Committee," Thomas' attorney, Mark Paoletta, said in a statement, per The Washington Post. "As she has said from the outset, Mrs. Thomas is eager to answer the committee's questions to clear up any misconceptions about her work relating to the 2020 election. She looks forward to that opportunity."

Meanwhile, the panel said Wednesday it would be holding its next public hearing on Sept. 28 at 1 p.m. ET, "just over a month before the midterm elections," NBC News reports.
