Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the chairman of the House Jan. 6 committee, said Monday that the panel would not make any criminal referrals against former President Donald Trump or others — sparking pushback from other members.
"No," Thompson told reporters when asked about the prospect of a criminal referral against Trump, according to CNN. "We're going to tell the facts. If the Department of Justice looks at it, and assume that there's something that needs further review, I'm sure they'll do it."
