"Jan. 6 Committee's Case for Criminally Charging Trump: Explained"

The House select committee investigating the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol previously recommended criminal charges against former President Donald Trump, including obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make a false statement, and inciting or assisting an insurrection. The committee found evidence that Trump pushed false allegations of fraud, was involved in a "fake electors scheme," pressured former Vice President Mike Pence, and summoned supporters to march on the Capitol. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and criticized the committee's investigation as a partisan witch hunt.
