"Our Committee had the opportunity last Spring to present much of our evidence to a federal judge... The judge concluded that both former President Donald Trump and John Eastman likely violated two federal criminal statutes."
-@RepRaskin The first criminal statute we invoke for referral is Title 18 Section 1512(c).

We believe that the evidence assembled throughout our hearings warrants a criminal referral of former President Donald J. Trump, John Eastman, and others for violations of this statute.

The Select Committee has proceeded respectfully and responsibly in our engagement with Vice President Pence, so it is disappointing that he is misrepresenting the nature of our investigation while giving interviews to promote his new book. Our investigation has presented the testimony of more than 50 Republican witnesses, including senior members of the Trump White House, the Campaign, & Justice Department.

This testimony, subject to criminal penalties for lying to Congress, was not ‘partisan.’ It was truthful.

The Select Committee has issued a subpoena for Kimberly Guilfoyle.

The Select Committee has evidence that Guilfoyle was in direct contact with key individuals, raised funds for the rally immediately preceding the violent attack on the Capitol, and participated in that event. The Select Committee has learned that Guilfoyle met with Donald Trump and members of his family in the Oval Office the morning of January 6, 2021, which was also when the then-President last spoke with Vice President Pence (by phone) prior to the joint session of Congress.

The Select Committee has issued subpoenas to 14 individuals who participated as purported “alternate electors” for former President Trump.

The committee is seeking information from individuals who met and submitted purported Electoral-College certificates in seven states. The Select Committee has obtained information that groups of individuals met on December 14th, 2020 in seven states carried by President Biden, then submitted bogus slates of Electoral-College votes for former President Trump.

🧵 On January 6th, 2021, our democracy was on the brink of catastrophe. The American people witnessed a violent attempt to overturn an election that came perilously close to succeeding.

Today, we highlight some of the events that threatened the peaceful transfer of power. 8:17 AM: Then-President Donald Trump spreads election misinformation and tells Vice President Mike Pence to intervene:

Mr. Meadows’s actions today—choosing to defy the law—will force the Select Committee to consider pursuing contempt or other proceedings to enforce the subpoena.
january6th.house.gov/news/press-rel… It’s important to note that there’s nothing extraordinary about the Select Committee seeking the cooperation of a former senior admin official. Throughout U.S. history, the White House has provided Congress with testimony and information when it has been in the public interest.

With several hours to go before today’s deadline, the Select Committee had received thousands of pages of documents in response to our first set of requests and our investigative team is actively engaged to keep that flow of information going. 1/ These records supplement the material we’ve received from other House Committees related to their earlier probes of January 6th. The Select Committee is also aware that the National Archives has undertaken the process required by law for review of presidential records. 2/
