(Trends Wide) — The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021 insurrection has released its final report, a comprehensive overview of the bipartisan panel’s findings on how former President Donald Trump and his allies attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
The full report — based on more than 1,000 interviews, collected documents including emails, texts, phone records, and a year and a half of investigation — includes allegations that Trump “oversaw” the legally dubious effort to submit false voter lists in seven states he lost, arguing that evidence shows he actively worked to “transmit false Electoral College ballots to Congress and the National Archives” despite concerns among his lawyers that doing so might be illegal.

In a symbolic move Monday, the commission in its last public meeting referred Trump to the Justice Department on at least four criminal charges, while saying in its executive summary that it had evidence of possible charges of conspiracy to injure or impede an official and seditious conspiracy.
Commission Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, said Monday that he has “extreme confidence that the work” of the commission “will help provide a road map to justice, and that the agencies and institutions responsible for ensure justice under the law will use the information”.
Special Counsel Jack Smith leads the Justice Department’s investigations related to Trump, including both his post-election actions and classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago compound earlier this year.
