A congressional panel investigating the events leading up to and surrounding a violent attempt to reject the results of the 2020 presidential election reportedly has enough evidence to refer Donald Trump to the US Department of Justice for criminal charges.
The New York Times reports that the committee currently is split on whether to make the referral, which would leave the decision to federal prosecutors, though the newspaper reports that members on the House select committee fear the appearance of political manoeuvring that could taint the Justice Department’s own probe into the assault on 6 January, 2021.
