January 6 Committee to Make More Criminal Referrals to DOJ: Chairman Bennie Thompson

The January 6 Committee will make more criminal referrals to the Justice Department, Chairman Bennie Thompson said on Tuesday.

Bennie Thompson said the committee has not made any specific decisions about any particular person.

Additionally, the committee has not voted yet on who or what for but it is just a tactic they will use.

CNN reported:

The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol has decided to make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice, the panel’s chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson, told reporters Tuesday.

Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, said the committee has not narrowed down the universe of individuals who may be referred.

Asked whether Thompson believed any witnesses perjured themselves, he said, “that’s part of the discussion.”

When the panel makes referrals, Thompson said it would be a separate document from the panel’s final report that will be sent to DOJ.

The committee is expected to meet later Tuesday.

A source tells CNN that the January 6 committee will ultimately make criminal referrals that “will be focused on the main organizers and leaders of the attacks.”

A subcommittee of members was tasked with providing options to the full committee about how to present evidence of possible obstruction, perjury, and witness tampering as well as potential criminal referrals to the Department of Justice, according to multiple sources familiar with the committee’s work.
