The House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol appears divided on whether the panel should make criminal referrals of Donald Trump or anyone else to the Justice Department. On Monday, the committee’s chair, Bennie Thompson, said that is “not our job.” But the committee’s vice chair, Republican Liz Cheney, said the committee has not issued a conclusion regarding potential criminal referrals. Another member of the committee, Elaine Luria, tweeted, “If criminal activity occurred, it is our responsibility to report that activity to the DOJ.”
