“That is the definition of an insurrection,” said Rep. Liz Cheney, the vice chair of the committee.
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol has enough evidence to refer former President
Donald Trump for criminal charges, the vice chair of the panel, Rep.
Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), said Sunday.
“It’s absolutely clear that what President Trump was doing, what a number of people around him were doing, that they knew it was unlawful. They did it anyway,” Cheney
told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”
She was responding to
a New York Times report asserting that the committee leaders were divided over whether to criminally refer Trump to the Justice Department, despite concluding they had enough evidence to do so on charges of obstructing a congressional proceeding conspiring to defraud the American people. The report cited people involved in the discussions.
According to Cheney, the committee has not yet decided on whether to make a referral.
“That is the definition of an insurrection,” said Rep. Liz Cheney, vice chair of the House select committee.

If they have enough evidence - they should do it. What do you think?
