The House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on our Capitol will take up criminal referrals against former President Donald Trump. The panel will urge the Justice Department to pursue at least three criminal charges against the one-term President, including insurrection. The other two charges that will be pursued are obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress and conspiracy to defraud the United States.
The report that the select panel is expected to consider on Monday afternoon, described to POLITICO by two people familiar with its contents, reflects some recommendations from a subcommittee that evaluated potential criminal referrals. Among the charges that the subcommittee proposes for Trump: 18 U.S.C. 2383, insurrection; 18 U.S.C. 1512(c), obstruction of an official proceeding; and 18 U.S.C. 371, conspiracy to defraud the United States government.
I'm excited to see if the DOJ acts. The talking head lawyers I've been listening to claims the DOJ could ignore the entire thing.
