January 6th Committee Meets For Finale Focused On Key Findings And Potential Criminal Referrals Of Donald Trump

deadline.com:

The January 6th Committee met for its final official public proceeding on Monday, one expected to include a vote on a criminal referral to the Justice Department of charges against former President Donald Trump.

Such a move would be a dramatic if expected finale for the committee’s proceedings, which have exceeded expectations in their ability to draw attention with a steady stream of bombshells over the extent to which Trump sought to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

The committee also planned to issue recommendations to make sure that such an attack on the Capitol never happens again. Committee chairman Bennie Thompson said that “we remain in strange and uncharted waters” and that “nearly two years later, it is still a time of reflection and reckoning.” Rep.

Liz Cheney (R-WY), the committee’s vice chair, said that among the “most shameful” of findings was that Trump declined and even refused to act for hours as the Capitol was being invaded, and instead sat in the Oval Office dining room and watched the events unfold.
