Jan. 6 Committee Releases Report on Capitol Insurrection, Recommends Barring Trump from Office

The House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol has released its final 845-page report on the insurrection at the Capitol and Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election. The report finds Trump was the central cause of the violence on January 6 and that Trump or his inner circle engaged in at least 200 apparent acts aimed at overturning state election results. The January 6 committee is recommending Congress consider barring Trump and others involved in the insurrection from ever holding public office again, citing the 14th Amendment. The committee is also calling for reforms to the Electoral College certification process and expanded efforts by the government to combat far-right and white supremacist groups. We’ll have more on the January 6 report after headlines.
