It’s now “virtually inevitable” the famously cautious Garland will launch a criminal investigation of Trump , said Georgetown law professor Neal Katyal in The NYT.
The committee has already laid out strong evidence Trump committed “serious federal crimes,” including attempted obstruction of an official proceeding—in this case the Jan. 6 vote certification. He might also be charged with “conspiracy to defraud the US” by collaborating with others to send falsely chosen Republican electors, and with wire fraud, for duping his own supporters into donating $250 million for a legal fund to overturn the
election—a fund the committee said never existed

Does the Justice Department want to charge Trump?
A person familiar with the matter told NBC News there have been conversations inside DOJ about the implications of pursuing a case against the ex-president, should it come to that.
