The January 6 committee met on Monday and made its most important move yet in the effort to hold ex-President Donald Trump and his associates accountable for the attack on Congress.
Lawmakers on the panel voted unanimously to send four criminal referrals to the Department of Justice, all naming Mr Trump and claiming that there is enough evidence to convict him of violating several criminal statues. The most serious of the four charges was the final one: Aiding or providing comfort to an insurrection aimed at toppling the United States government.
