“We have made decisions on criminal referrals,” chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., told reporters Tuesday, declining to say how many or who they may target.
House Jan. 6 committee chairman Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., expects the panel to make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice, he told reporters Tuesday.
“We have made decisions on criminal referrals,” Thompson said.
Thompson said the panel has yet to formalize its decision. He also declined to say which individuals would be subject to the referrals or how many he expects the panel to make.
Committee members previously signaled the possibility of the panel sending multiple criminal referrals to the Justice Department involving former President Donald Trump and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
