TFG Faces More Woes in Jan. 6 Panel's Blockbuster Finale [View all]
(Bloomberg) -- Donald Trump awaits the most serious blow yet from House lawmakers investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack — a possible recommendation that he be prosecuted just as he’s launching a comeback bid for the White House.
The committee is poised to decide Monday whether to refer Trump and several advisers to the Justice Department for criminal charges for their conduct in connection with the deadly insurrection in 2021. It culminates an 17-month investigation by the panel, which will also unveil its findings in a massive report.
In Trump’s case, the nine members will vote on whether to recommend a prosecution for obstructing an official government proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the US, according to people familiar with the plans. A charge of insurrection is also under consideration, one of the people said.
While a criminal referral by the panel won’t have a formal legal impact, it would be a powerful statement. And it would add to Trump’s mounting legal problems, including a federal special counsel’s investigation of his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his handling of classified documents after leaving office. There’s also a Georgia grand jury probe into his attempts to pressure state election officials.
