The panel says there is evidence that Trump committed crimes such as obstructing the official proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the government.
The Select Committee of US Congress that investigates the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, has said the Department of Justice (DOJ) can move to charge former President Donald Trump on various counts related to instigating supporters. The panel has recommended that the former president can be potentially prosecuted on four counts related to attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
According to the panel, there is evidence that Trump committed crimes such as obstructing the official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the government, making knowingly and willfully make materially false statements to the federal government, and inciting or assisting an insurrection.
„The committee has developed significant evidence that president Trump intended to disrupt the peaceful transition of power under our Constitution …. „We believe that the evidence described by my colleagues today, and assembled throughout our hearings, warrants a criminal referral of former President Donald J.
