The House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol has wrapped up its 18-month probe by recommending criminal charges against former President Donald Trump. At the committee’s final public hearing Monday, Maryland Democratic Congressmember Jamie Raskin said Trump betrayed his oath of office by assisting in an insurrection against the constitutional order.

Rep. Jamie Raskin: “The committee believes that more than sufficient evidence exists for a criminal referral of former President Trump for assisting or aiding and comforting those at the Capitol who engaged in a violent attack on the United States. The committee has developed significant evidence that President Trump intended to disrupt the peaceful transfer — transition of power under our Constitution.”
