The special House committee looking into the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, accused former President Donald Trump of insurrection, obstruction, conspiracy and another federal crime as it referred him to the U.S. Justice Department for prosecution.
“Every president in our history has defended this orderly transfer of authority, except one,” said committee vice-chair and U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyoming.
Monday’s committee recommendation was the first time in U.S. history that a former president, who was subject to an 18-month investigation, has been referred for criminal prosecution.
