Searing testimony increases odds of charges against Trump, experts say

Former prosecutors say January 6 hearings have delivered compelling evidence that Trump committed crimes'

The searing testimony and growing evidence about Donald Trump's central role in a multi-pronged conspiracy to overturn Joe Biden's election in 2020 presented at the House January 6 committee's first three hearings, has increased the odds that Trump will face criminal charges, say former DoJ prosecutors and officials.

The panel's initial hearings provided a kind of legal roadmap about Trump's multi-faceted drives - in tandem with some top lawyers and loyalists - to thwart Biden from taking office, that should benefit justice department prosecutors in their sprawling investigations into the January 6 assault on the Capitol by a mob of Trump supporters.
