Justice department is investigating Trump’s election subversion efforts, while House select committee could make a referral to DoJ
a clip of its eagerly awaited interview with Garland on Tuesday. The full interview was due to broadcast in the evening.The House January 6 committee could make a criminal referral. Whether it should, or will, and whether it has presented sufficient evidence to do so, is a matter of extensive debate around the US and on the committee itself.
Garland’s interviewer, Lester Holt, asked about the political sensitivities around potential charges for Trump. Garland said: “We pursue justice without fear or favor. We intend to hold everyone, anyone who was criminally responsible for events surrounding January 6, or any attempt to interfere with the lawful transfer of power from one administration to another, accountable. That’s what we do. We don’t pay any attention to other issues with respect to that.”
