Jan 6 Committee Criminal Referral — Trump Referred to DOJ for Prosecution (Unanimous Vote)
The House January 6 Select Committee votes unanimously to refer Donald Trump to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution on four charges: obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make a false statement, and inciting or assisting an insurrection. The criminal referral is based on 18 months of investigation, over 1,000 witness interviews, and millions of pages of documents. It marks the first time in American history that Congress has referred a former president for criminal prosecution.
