A member of the House’s 6 January panel said there’s enough evidence to charge Donald Trump with insurrection and other crimes.

Representative Adam Schiff, who sparred with Trump in his role as House Intelligence Committee Chair, said the former president’s actions surrounding the 2021 attack on the Capitol by his supporters are “a pretty good match” for a criminal insurrection charge.

The House committee plans to meet at 1pm on Monday in Washington to vote on its final report and referrals for criminal charges and other sanctions. That will include votes on recommendations that Trump be prosecuted for insurrection, obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the US, according to a person familiar with the discussions.

“We want to focus on those for which we believe there’s the strongest evidence,” said Schiff, a former prosecutor.A spokesman for Trump claimed in an earlier statement that “This kangaroo court has been nothing more than a Hollywood executive’s vanity documentary project that insults Americans’ intelligence and makes a mockery of our democracy.”
