WASHINGTON — A member of the House’s Jan. 6 panel said there’s enough evidence to charge Donald Trump with insurrection and other crimes.
Rep. Adam Schiff, who sparred with Trump in his role as House Intelligence Committee chair, said the former president’s actions surrounding the 2021 attack on the Capitol by his supporters are “a pretty good match” for a criminal insurrection charge.
“In terms of the criminal statute, if you can prove that someone incited insurrection — that is, they incited violence against the government or they gave aid and comfort to those who did — that violates that law,” Schiff said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
