Trump should be barred from holding office again, January 6 panel says

Committee says Trump's conduct on January 6 warrants implementation of constitutional ban on him holding office again

The House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol has recommended in its final report that Donald Trump should be barred from holding office again.

The former US president is again running for the White House and is seen as the leading contender for the Republican party's 2024 nomination. However, his campaign has been a damp squib so far and his political fortunes battered by the poor performance of Trump-backed candidates in the November midterms and the emergence of rival figures within the party, notably Florida governor Ron DeSantis.
