Storming the Capitol: U-Committee calls for criminal proceedings against Trump

Now it's the US Department of Justice's turn. After months of hearings about the storming of the Capitol, the committee of inquiry recommends criminal proceedings against the ex-president. The allegations: insurrection and conspiracy to fraud.

The investigative committee into the storming of the US Capitol in early 2021 has called on the judiciary to criminal proceedings against ex-President Donald Trump on four counts. At a public hearing, lawmakers accused Trump of, among other things, instigating or aiding insurrection, obstructing an official process and conspiring to defraud the United States. The Ministry of Justice must now decide on criminal proceedings and possible charges.

The parliamentary inquiry into the US Capitol storm in early 2021 held its final public session. According to a media report, there are allegations of insurrection, obstruction of an official process and conspiracy to defraud the United States. The panel also recommended criminal investigations against several Trump confidants. The U-Committee will present its final report on Wednesday.

Radical Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to prevent confirmation of Joe Biden's victory in the November 2020 presidential election. The storming of Congress with five dead shook the United States and caused international horror.
