Member of House Jan. 6 committee says federal prosecutors ‘paying close attention’ to hearings

The House Jan. 6 committee members don’t just want to convince Americans that former President Donald Trump plotted a “coup,” they want to convince the Justice Department to prosecute him.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, a member of the House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 Attack, said Sunday that he is confident Attorney General Merrick Garland has a firm understanding of “what’s at stake here” when asked about a possible indictment against Mr. Trump.

He also pledged to give Mr. Garland space to decide whether to step in.
