Jan. 6 panel's report will include 'crimes that have not yet been alleged'
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), a member of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, expects crimes that have not yet been alleged to be in the committee’s report.
Committee members are hopeful that hearings will occur in May and June, Raskin told The Washington Post on Wednesday, with an interim report concluding their findings expected this summer.
While the committee itself cannot prosecute those who played a role in the riot, Raskin said the report will be about what happened on that day and how to prevent it from happening again.

The Department of Justice has already charged hundreds of people involved in the attack, but Attorney General Merrick Garland said earlier this month he won’t rush the investigation.
“As in most mob-style investigations, the Department of Justice seems to be working its way up from the bottom to the top,” Raskin told the Post. “So that’s why I’m telling the people who are despairing over the fact that the people at the top always seem to get away with it to be patient because I do think they are working their way up.”
