Capitol riot committee to seek charges against Trump

The US House Select Committee investigating the January 2021 riots on Capitol Hill is preparing to vote on urging the Justice Department to file at least three criminal charges against former President Donald Trump, several media outlets reported on Friday.

Sources told Politico and CNN that the charges could include insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy to defraud the federal government. The select committee’s final report could also reportedly insist on including additional charges against Trump.
