Rep. Adam Schiff said 'facts support' indicting Trump and that the January 6 panel will make its
evidence public so the GOP can't 'cherry-pick' and 'mislead the country'
Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat, said Wednesday facts gathered by the House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack support an indictment of former President Donald Trump.
Schiff, a member of the committee, made the comments in an interview with NPR. The committee is set to dissolve at the end of the year and is highly unlikely to be renewed in a Republican-controlled House. Their final report is expected sometime this month, with sources telling NBC News it could be released on December 21.
NPR's Steve Inskeep asked Schiff if he believed Trump had committed "specific prosecutable crimes on January 6."
"Yes, I do," Schiff said. He alluded to a
federal judge who ruled in March that Trump had likely "corruptly attempted to obstruct the Joint Session of Congress on January 6, 2021" which could amount to felony obstruction.
