Members of the House committee investigating the Capitol riot said Sunday they have uncovered enough evidence for the Justice Department to consider an unprecedented criminal indictment against former President Donald Trump for seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election.The committee announced that Trump's campaign manager, Bill Stepien, is among the witnesses scheduled to testify at a hearing Monday that focuses on Trump's effort to spread his lies about a stolen election. Stepien was subpoenaed for his public testimony.Video above: 1/6 panel says Capitol riot an 'attempted coup'As the hearings unfold, Rep. Adam Schiff said he would like the department to 맥스카지노�investigate any credible allegation of criminal activity on the part of Donald Trump.맥스카지노� Schiff, D-Calif., who also leads the House Intelligence Committee, said that 맥스카지노�there are certain actions, parts of these different lines of effort to overturn the election that I don맥스카지노�tThe committee held its first public hearing last week, with members laying out their case against Trump to show how the defeated president relentlessly pushed his false claims of a rigged election despite multiple advisers telling him otherwise and how he intensified an extraordinary scheme to overturn Joe Biden맥스카지노�s victory.Additional evidence is set to be released in hearings this week that will demonstrate how Trump and some of his advisers engaged in a 맥스카지노�massive effort맥스카지노� to spread misinformation, pressured the Justice Department to embrace his false claims, and urged then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject state electors and block the vote certification on Jan. 6, 2021.Stepien, a longtime Trump ally, is now a top campaign adviser to the Trump-endorsed House candidate in Wyoming's Republican primary, Harriet Hageman, who is challenging Rep. Liz Cheney, the committee's vice chair and a vociferous critic of the former president. A Trump spokesman, Taylor Budowich, suggested that the committee's decision to call Stepien was politically motivated.Monday's witness list includes BJay Pak, the top federal prosecutor in Atlanta who left his position on Jan 4, 2021, a day after an audio recording was made public in which Trump called him a 맥스카지노�never-Trumper," and Chris Stirewalt, the former political editor for Fox News.The committee has said most of those interviewed in the investigation are coming forward voluntarily, although some have wanted subpoenas to appear in public. Filmmaker Nick Quested, who provided documentary footage of the attack, said during last week맥스카지노�s hearing he received a subpoena to appear.Committee members said they would present clear evidence that 맥스카지노�multiple맥스카지노� GOP lawmakers, including Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., had sought a pardon from Trump, which would protect him from prosecution. Perry on Friday denied he ever did so, calling the assertion an 맥스카지노�absolute, shameless, and soulless lie.맥스카지노� 맥스카지노�We맥스카지노�re not going to make accusations or say things without proof or evidence backing it,맥스카지노� said Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill.Lawmakers indicated that perhaps their most important audience member over the course of the hearings may be Attorney General Merrick Garland, who must decide whether his department can and should prosecute Trump. They left no doubt as to their own view whether the evidence is sufficient to proceed.맥스카지노�Once the evidence is accumulated by the Justice Department, it needs to make a decision about whether it can prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt the president맥스카지노�s guilt or anyone else맥스카지노�s,맥스카지노� Schiff said. 맥스카지노�But they need to be investigated if there맥스카지노�s credible evidence, which I think there is.맥스카지노�Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said he doesn맥스카지노�t intend to 맥스카지노�browbeat맥스카지노� Garland but noted the committee has already laid out in legal pleadings criminal statutes they believe Trump violated.맥스카지노�I think that he knows, his staff knows, the U.S. attorneys know, what맥스카지노�s at stake here,맥스카지노� Raskin said. 맥스카지노�They know the importance of it, but I think they are rightfully paying close attention to precedent in history as well, as the facts of this case.맥스카지노�Garland has not specified how he might proceed, which would be unprecedented and may be complicated in a political election season in which Trump has openly flirted with the idea of running for president again.No president or ex-president has ever been indicted.Richard Nixon resigned from office in 1974 as he faced an impeachment and a likely grand jury indictment on charges of bribery, conspiracy and obstruction of justice. President Gerald Ford later pardoned his predecessor before any criminal charges related to Watergate could be filed.Legal experts have said a Justice Department prosecution of Trump over the riot could set an uneasy precedent in which an administration of one party could more routinely go after the former president of another."We will follow the facts wherever they lead,맥스카지노� Garland said in his speech at Harvard University맥스카지노�s commencement ceremony last month.A federal judge in California said in a March ruling in a civil case that Trump 맥스카지노�more likely than not맥스카지노� committed federal crimes in seeking to obstruct the congressional count of the Electoral College ballots on Jan. 6, 2021. The judge cited two statutes: obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Trump has denied all wrongdoing.Schiff appeared on ABC맥스카지노�s 맥스카지노�This Week,맥스카지노� Raskin spoke on CNN맥스카지노�s 맥스카지노�State of the Union," and Kinzinger was on CBS맥스카지노�s 맥스카지노�Face the Nation."
