The House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection could make multiple criminal referrals, including of former President Donald Trump, the panel’s vice chair, Rep. Liz Cheney, said.

"We'll make a decision as a committee about it," the Wyoming Republican told ABC News when asked about the prospect of referring Trump for prosecution and saying"yes" when asked whether a referral of Trump was possible."The Justice Department doesn't have to wait for the committee to make a criminal referral, and there could be more than one criminal referral," Cheney said.

"The committee's not going to stand by and watch her character be assassinated by anonymous sources and men claiming executive privilege," Cheney said."We look forward very much to additional testimony under oath on a whole range of issues."Cheney said the committee had evidence corroborating Trump's fury at being told he couldn't go to the Capitol on January 6.

'COULD' Typical political bs. Bunch of behavioral misconstrued Democrat perceptions. So divisive.

People exercising their Freedom to voice their concern of a sham election that it is what this was .January 6th comitee is a hox and was formed to settle political scores.

Who died and made Dick's daughter queen?

criminal referrals are one thing.. a timid AG like Garland likely wont do anything…

I love how the never trumpers have already made a decision though hearing evidence. This committe cracks me up

Call it whatever fits your agenda…it’s a cult Democrat sham. It has no power other than try and defeat Donald Trump in 2024.

It's time for Trump to answer to the US constitution and the law of America, America is not part of Trump's organization, he cannot say or do whatever he wants, there is something bigger than him that is his country.

That is not how it works. She is trying to spark a civil war.

It will be interesting to see how that works out in the next few years.

Nothing will happen, like the rest of the 'get Trump not a story stories' you guys have pushed for the last half decade. CNN is fake news.

This is what no consequences breeds: “If you’re looking for someone to blame, Mayor, you should know that it’s me who did this,” he said in response. “I stopped your communist friend from representing a great community. Welcome to The New Right.”

Replying to Her claim to fame, other than daddy's coattails, is hating Trump. As long as she can espouse her hate for him she can find attention and a camera.

I believe she was already debunked for this statement from her own Democrat party. Lol

JustDoIt

All left wing democrats all the time. Trump won

Does that lower inflation or gas prices Trump is irrelevant now focus on things that we need please

There was no insurrection. CNN lying again.

IOW, nothing. Move on CNN.

Ha!! They wont do it!!
