The House committee investigating the Capitol riot will make its final public presentation Monday afternoon about the unprecedented effort by Donald Trump to overturn the results of the presidential election he lost in 2020.
The committee is expected to make both criminal and civil referrals against the former president and his allies, who, according to lawmakers, broke the law or committed ethical violations.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said last week that the committee’s actions will focus on “key players” where there is sufficient evidence or abundant evidence that they committed crimes. Lawmakers who did not comply with subpoenas from the Jan. 6 committee included House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy of California, as well as GOP Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Andy Biggs of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama.Lawmakers have promised that Monday’s session will include a preview of the committee’s final report, expected to be released Wednesday.
Anticipation for the final report is high. Book publishers are already offering pre-release versions for sale to the public.As the committee convenes one final time, a major legislative response to the insurrection could be on the fast-track to passage. The committee is also expected to release its own legislative proposals in its final report, with ideas for how to strengthen and expand the guardrails that protected the Electoral College certification in 2021.Since its formation, the Jan. 6 committee has strived to build a record for history and deepen the public’s understanding of what led to the Capitol attack and the individuals involved in it.
