Rep. Adam Schiff says the Justice Department should be investigating “any credible allegation of criminal activity” by Trump. Trump has denied all wrongdoing.
WASHINGTON — Members of the House committee investigating the Capitol riot said Sunday they have uncovered enough evidence for the Justice Department to consider an unprecedented criminal indictment against former President Donald Trump for seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

"We're not going to make accusations or say things without proof or evidence backing it," said Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill. "I think that he knows, his staff knows, the U.S. attorneys know, what's at stake here," Raskin said."They know the importance of it, but I think they are rightfully paying close attention to precedent in history as well, as the facts of this case."
