The committee has scheduled what is likely to be its final meeting for 1 p.m. EST on Monday
when it will consider referring people to the Justice Department for prosecution as well as to other bodies for sanctions that could include disbarment by state officials.A subcommittee of four of the panel’s nine members has met separately to come up with recommendations that will be presented Monday, including the obstruction and fraud charges against Trump.
The case stems from an assault on the Capitol last year by a violent mob of Trump supporters attempting to prevent the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential election victory. The committee has previously indicated in legal filings that it believed it had evidence that Trump’s involvement amounted to crimes — and a judge later agreed, listing obstruction and conspiracy to defraud as crimes likely to have occurred.
Other potential charges against Trump and his associates could be discussed Monday along with recommendations for civil sanctions.
