WASHINGTON — The House panel investigating the U.S. Capitol assault will vote Monday to approve its final report and whether to refer any individuals for prosecution by the Justice Department or other sanctions.
Rep. Bennie Thompson, the committee’s chairman, told reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday that the panel is considering referrals covering five or six “subject matter areas.”
He didn’t specify the potential targets or crimes under consideration, but the committee has been looking into recommending prosecution of former President Donald Trump and at least four of his associates for their actions related to the Jan. 6, 2021, mob attack on the Capitol, according to people familiar with the deliberations.
