Capitol attack panel members urge DoJ to consider criminal charges for Trump

I'd like to see DoJ investigate any credible allegation of criminal activity,' says Adam Schiff as pressure builds on Merrick Garland

Members of the House committee investigating Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat called on Sunday for the US justice department to consider a criminal indictment for the former president and warned that the danger is still out there".

Their comments on the eve of the second of the panel's televised hearings into the January 6 2021 insurrection and deadly Capitol attack will add further pressure on attorney general Merrick Garland, who has angered some Democrats by so far taking no action despite growing evidence of Trump's culpability.
