The Jan. 6 committee is expected to vote on criminal and civil referrals against Trump and some of his closest allies during its final public meeting today.
said Sunday that the "evidence is there" that Trump committed criminal offenses related to the 2020 election and added that "there's sufficient evidence to charge the president."
Schiff also said Sunday that relating to a potential charge of insurrection, "if you look at Donald Trump’s acts and you match them up against the statute, it’s a pretty good match."The referrals, which would be non-binding and are largely symbolic, do not require the Justice Department to take any additional action. The DOJ ultimately would decide whether the evidence supports prosecution.
"We will also be considering what's the appropriate remedy for members of Congress who ignore a congressional subpoena, as well as the evidence that was so pertinent to our investigation and why we wanted to bring them in," he said. Schiff mentioned the possibility of censures or ethics referrals for those lawmakers who rebuffed the subpoenas.
