The House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection could make multiple criminal referrals, including of former President Donald Trump, the panel’s vice chair, Rep. Liz Cheney, said.
"We'll make a decision as a committee about it," the Wyoming Republican told ABC News when asked about the prospect of referring Trump for prosecution and saying"yes" when asked whether a referral of Trump was possible."The Justice Department doesn't have to wait for the committee to make a criminal referral, and there could be more than one criminal referral," Cheney said.
"The committee's not going to stand by and watch her character be assassinated by anonymous sources and men claiming executive privilege," Cheney said."We look forward very much to additional testimony under oath on a whole range of issues."Cheney said the committee had evidence corroborating Trump's fury at being told he couldn't go to the Capitol on January 6.
