The Capitol Inquiry Committee: We Have Enough Evidence to Refer Trump to the Criminal Court

Republican Representative Liz Cheney announced that the congressional committee investigating the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021 has sufficient evidence to bring criminal charges against former President Donald Trump.

"What President Trump was doing and what a number of people around him were doing was illegal, and they knew that and they did what they did," Cheney said.

"The committee has not made a decision whether to move forward with this decision (to bring criminal charges against Trump)," she added.

And she continued, "I think what we saw was a large, organized and planned effort that used multiple tools to try to overturn the election results."

She explained that the committee "has obtained a huge amount of testimonies and documents that clearly show the extent of planning, organization and purpose."
