WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump faces double blows on the legal and political front next week as one House panel votes on whether to recommend criminal charges against him and another considers making his tax records public.
The expected actions by both committees, which are the culmination of lengthy investigations into the former president, come just two weeks before Democrats relinquish the House majority — and their oversight authority — to Republicans.
The bad news for Trump begins Monday at the House panel investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol assault, which will vote on recommendations that he face prosecution for obstructing an official government proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the United States, according to a person familiar with the plans.
