The select committee will be wrapping up its investigation into the Jan. 6 attack and former President Donald Trump's efforts to stop the transfer of power after interviews with more than 1,000 people and 10 public hearings.
Rep. Adam Schiff, a member of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol, said Sunday that the panel has been"far out ahead" of the Department of Justice throughout its examination of the events surrounding the violent attack.
"We have been far out ahead in most respects of the Justice Department and conducting our investigation. I think they have made use of the evidence that we have presented in open hearings. I think they'll make use of the evidence that we prefer to present in our report to further their investigations," Schiff said in an interview with"Face the Nation.
"What I can tell you about the process is we're looking at what is the quantum of evidence that we have against individuals? What is the impact of making a referral? Are we going to create some suggestion by referring some, that others there wasn't sufficient evidence, when we don't know, for example, what evidence is in the position of the Justice Department?" he said."So, if we do make referrals, we want to be very careful about how we do them.
The select committee said in a statement that referrals to outside entities should be considered as a final part of its work, and Rep. Bennie Thompson, the chairman, confirmed last week that the committee is also examining whether any of the people who appeared before the panel perjured themselves.

U.S. to appeal dismissal of Chinese agent lawsuit against casino tycoon WynnThe U.S. Justice Department will appeal the dismissal of a lawsuit against casino magnate Steve Wynn, who it accused of acting as a Chinese agent. Wynn defeated the lawsuit in October when a federal judge in Washington, D.C., said the casino tycoon could not be ordered to register with the Justice Department as a foreign agent of China. The Justice Department in May sued for a court order forcing Wynn, the former CEO of Wynn Casinos, to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
