The committee will reportedly seek an unprecedented charge of insurrection against an ex-US president.

The congressional inquiry into last year's Capitol riot will reportedly recommend three criminal charges against former President Donald Trump.

The justice department - which is already investigating Mr Trump's role in the unrest - is not obliged to consider referrals from any congressional panel. As well as insurrection, according to various outlets, the panel will suggest Mr Trump be charged with obstructing an official proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the United States.

The full report will be made public on Wednesday, said chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat who is helming the select committee.
