BREAKING: Jan. 6 panel recommends criminal charges for Trump over Capitol riot
for his actions in connection with last year’s Capitol riot, according to the House select committee investigating the events of Jan. 6, 2021.
“We have every confidence that the work of this committee will help provide a roadmap to justice, and that the agencies and institutions responsible for ensuring justice under the law will use the information we provided to aid in their work,” Thompson said. Cheney said the 187 minutes that Trump let pass before telling his supporters to call off the riot constituted “dereliction of duty.”
If charged and convicted, former President Donald Trump could face up to 35 years in prison and more than $500,000 in fines.Law enforcement officials have prosecuted participants in the riot citing criminal statutes related to violence, obstruction of an official proceeding and, in some cases, seditious conspiracy.
Conspiracy to defraud the government describes a crime involving at least two people who “conspire either to commit any offense against the United States or to defraud the United States,” at least one of whom makes “any act” to bring about the conspired goal, according to US law.
