After nearly two years of investigations, nine public hearings, and public testimony from more than a 1,000 witnesses, the Jan. 6 committee has released its recommendations. It is a scathing indictment of Donald Trump—the first U.S. president in history to stir up a violent insurrection to overthrow our democratic process. (If you don't have time to read the full report, watch this 10-minute video that summarizes the case the Jan. 6 committee brought.)
The question is: Now what? On Dec.19, the committee voted unanimously to refer four criminal charges to the U.S. Department of Justice against former President Donald Trump, refer two of these criminal charges against Trump lawyer John Eastman, recommend that the House Ethics Committee sanction four Republican members of Congress who denied subpoenas, and send numerous legislative recommendations to Congress.
The specific criminal charges against Donald Trump are: 1.) obstruction of an official proceeding, 2.) conspiracy to defraud the United States, 3.) conspiracy to make false statements tied to his efforts to submit fake certificates to the National Archives as genuine, and 4.) insurrection, or providing “aid and comfort” to those who disrupted the certification. Now, we need the executive and legislative branches to ensure their work wasn't done in vain.
