Washington — The House select committee probing the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol is set to release its final report on Wednesday, capping a nearly 18-month investigation that resulted in the historic recommendation that former President Donald Trump be criminally prosecuted for his conduct surrounding the insurrection.
The release of the report, which the panel unanimously voted to adopt during a meeting Monday, follows the publication of introductory materials earlier this week, which included the committee's criminal referrals to the Justice Department for possible prosecution and 17 key findings from its investigation.
The panel recommended the Justice Department pursue at least four criminal charges against former President Donald Trump related to his alleged efforts to thwart the transfer of presidential power: obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make a false statement and incitement, rebellion or insurrection.
