WASHINGTON — The House January 6 committee unanimously voted on Monday to refer four criminal charges against former US president Donald Trump to the Department of Justice, likely adding to public pressure to prosecute Trump for his attempted coup.
“Ours is not a system of justice where foot soldiers go to jail and the masterminds and ringleaders get a free pass,” Raskin said. Trump, former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark and right-wing lawyer John Eastman are specifically named in the referral to prosecutors. All three helped advance a scheme that threatened violence, and ultimately incited violence, to pressure then-vice president Mike Pence and lawmakers to give Trump a second term despite his losing the 2020 election.
The committee’s last act is likely to be the release of its final report this week, possibly on Wednesday. It plans to release an executive summary of the report Monday, following the hearing.
