WASHINGTON - The US House probe of the deadly assault on the Capitol will share with federal prosecutors any evidence of potential crimes aimed at pushing phony Republican electors in states won by D

emocratic President Joe Biden, the committee's chairman said on Sunday .

Republicans had publicly pressured then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject official slates of electors to allow Republican state lawmakers to offer an alternate group of electors backing then-President Donald Trump. Pence rejected that plea. "We are concerned that documents have been filed saying they were individuals responsible for conducting and certifying elections and they're not. And when you falsify documents, in most instances, that's a criminal act."

CNN reported last week that officials on Trump's re-election campaign, led by his lawyer Rudy Giuliani, oversaw efforts to put forward illegitimate electors from seven states that the former president lost.Thompson also said the panel was concerned about a draft Trump executive order, reported by Politico, that would have called on the US military to seize election equipment, although the order was never issued.
