Re: FBI searches former president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate
Quote:
January 6 committee recommends criminal charges against Donald Trump
Former president Trump's behaviour during the January 6 US Capitol riots has been branded an "utter moral failure and a clear dereliction of duty" by an investigating committee, who say he is "unfit for any office".
The committee investigating the January 6 storming of the US Capitol is recommending criminal charges against former President Donald Trump.
They include conspiracy to defraud the United States; obstructing an official proceeding (the certification of Joe Biden's election victory); conspiracy to make a false statement and inciting or assisting an insurrection.
The recommendation is mainly symbolic - with the US Justice Department responsible for deciding whether or not to prosecute Mr Trump.
But committee chair, Democrat Bennie Thompson, said: "We have every confidence that the work of this committee will help provide the road map to justice."
