The commission in the US Congress, which is investigating riots in the Capitol in January of last year, recommends that Donald Trump be presented with three criminal charges, including charges of rebellion, which is unprecedented for a former American president.

A select committee of the House of Representatives is due to publish its final report next week, the BBC reported on Saturday, citing News.ro.

Trump supporters stormed Congress on January 6, 2021, trying to stop the confirmation of Joe Biden as president.

The Justice Department, which is already investigating Donald Trump’s role in the riots, is not required to consider the appeal of any congressional committee.

Trump denies any wrongdoing.

On Friday, his spokesman Stephen Cheung said in a statement: “The non-selective Commission on the Events of January 6 organized show trials against the supporters of Never Trump, who are a stain on the history of this country.”

The special committee plans to hold a final hearing on Monday, when the charges will be announced.

In addition to rebellion, according to various American publications, the commission will propose to charge Trump with obstruction of official procedure and conspiracy to defraud the United States.

The nine panel members will approve the final report, which includes eight chapters, based on interviews with more than 1,000 witnesses, and submit it to the Department of Justice (DoJ).

The full report will be released Wednesday, said Chairman Benny Thompson, the Mississippi Democrat who chairs the task force. California Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, another panel member, told CNN on Friday that lawmakers “were very careful in developing these recommendations.” [de acuzare] and relating them to the facts we have discovered.’

A special House committee alleged that Trump spread what he knew to be false claims about theft in the 2020 presidential election before pressuring government officials, the Justice Department and his vice president to help undermine his defeat.

The commission accuses him of fomenting a rebellion in the Capitol in a last-ditch effort to stay in power.

Special prosecutor

The Justice Department is already investigating the then-Republican president’s actions regarding the rebellion.

Seven days after the attack on Congress, the House of Representatives impeached Trump for the second time on the grounds of sedition.

Trump, who is the only president to be impeached twice, was acquitted by the US Senate.

Last month, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a former war crimes prosecutor to decide whether Trump should be prosecuted.

Jack Smith is tasked with determining whether the 2024 presidential candidate should be tried for mishandling classified information seized during an FBI raid on Trump’s Florida estate in August, or for facilitating a violent attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
