Carlos Curbelo said the former president's other troubles are enough for him to be done in by, and argued that a criminal referral would help rally his base.
based on its findings. On Tuesday, committee chair Representative Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, said that they have decided to issue referrals, but had not yet decided precisely who would get them and for which charges.
While nothing has been made official, it is heavily expected that the committee will issue some referrals for Trump, for his part in orchestrating the events that led to the riot. Such a hypothetical move by the committee could hold serious weight, according to one expert. Former President Donald Trump is seen departing for a border visit in days after January 6. A former GOP congressman on Sunday suggested that"the end is near" for Trump, even without criminal referrals from the House select committee investigating last year's Capitol riot."Although the DOJ is independent, such a referral is more than symbolic," Ion Meyn, an assistant law professor at the University of Wisconsin, previously toldin a statement.
The DOJ has yet to bring any charges against Trump, though it is conducting two probes against him for his involvement in January 6 and his handling of classified documents that he kept at Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House early last year. In regards to the documents, Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and said that any classified documents that he took had already been declassified.
