Trump Among Five Targets as Jan. 6 Panel Weighs Criminal Referrals
(Bloomberg) -- The House Jan. 6 committee is considering criminal referrals against former President Donald Trump, his chief of staff Mark Meadows and at least three other key allies involved in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, a person familiar with the matter said Thursday.
Those referrals are being suggested by a subcommittee of the panel and have not officially been approved by the full committee. They also include unofficial former Trump legal adviser John Eastman, Trumps former lawyer and ex-New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, and former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark.
The person, who asked not to be identified discussing information not yet made public by the panel, didnt specify what criminal counts might be referred against Trump and the other four. It wasnt clear whether others might be targeted for referrals.
Representatives for each of the five men didnt immediately reply to requests for comment. CNN earlier reported on the potential referrals.
