Election’s eve talkbacks with DC Correspondent, Ashonti Ford

Capitol Riot Aftermath

The January 6th Committee held its final public hearing on December 20th, 2022. The committee voted unanimously to refer former President Donald Trump to the Department of Justice on four criminal charges, including inciting an insurrection.

The committee's report concluded that Trump was "at the center of the conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election" and that he "summoned a mob to Washington, D.C., on January 6, 2021, and ultimately spurred that mob to wage a violent attack on our Capitol.”

Trump's Role in the Capitol Riot

The committee's report provides a detailed account of Trump's actions leading up to and on January 6th. The report concludes that Trump was "aware of the potential for violence" and that he "did nothing to stop it."

In fact, the report alleges that Trump "actively encouraged the violence" by repeatedly urging his supporters to "fight like hell" to overturn the election results.

The Justice Department's Investigation

The Department of Justice is currently investigating Trump's role in the Capitol riot. It is unclear whether the department will bring charges against Trump, but the committee's report is likely to be a key piece of evidence in any potential prosecution.

If Trump is charged and convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison for each of the four charges.
