Nearly 60% of Americans say Donald Trump should be charged for role in Capitol riot: Poll

Nearly 60% of Americans say former President Donald Trump should be charged with a crime for his role in the U.S. Capitol riot, according to a poll conducted midway in the House Jan. 6 committee’s series of public hearings scheduled for this month.

A similar percentage of respondents say the committee’s investigation is fair and impartial, according to the ABC News/Ipsos survey.

The poll, conducted late last week following the committee’s third public hearing on Thursday, found that 58% of Americans say Mr. Trump should be charged for the riot, up from 52% in April.
