Jan. 6 committee recommends charges against former Trump adviser John Eastman

The Jan. 6 committee has recommended federal criminal charges against former Chapman University professor John Eastman, former President Donald Trump and others it deems responsible for the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The committee recommended that Trump and Eastman should face federal criminal charges for obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the United States. It recommended prosecuting “Trump and others” on two additional charges: conspiracy to make a false statement and inciting, assisting, or aiding or comforting an insurrection.

“(Trump) entered into agreements, formal and informal, with several individuals who assisted him with his criminal objects,” Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said during Monday’s committee hearing.
