The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol is set to vote to refer criminal charges against a former president to the Justice Department for the first time in American history on Monday.
The criminal and civil referrals will precede the release of a final report compiled by the committee that will tell the most comprehensive story to date of the events leading up to the attack and Donald Trump’s role in fomenting it.
While referrals hold no legal weight, people familiar with the committee’s deliberations said the panel intended to make a strong statement about the need to hold accountable those responsible for inciting the Capitol assault — Trump especially. The report — at least some of which is likely to be released Monday — is expected to largely mirror the set of public hearings presented by the committee over the summer. It will be bolstered by additional evidence and information that had been omitted from previous presentations or was collected by investigators since the hearings ended, according to people involved with the committee’s work.
