The United States House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol (the January 6th Committee) is a bipartisan select committee of the U.S. House of Representatives established to investigate the U.S. Capitol attack.After refusing to concede the 2020 U.S. presidential election and perpetuating false and disproven claims of widespread voter fraud, then-President Donald Trump summoned a mob to the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The Committee received sworn testimony that Trump knew he did not win the election and subpoenaed his testimony, identifying him as "the center of the first and only effort by any U.S. President to overturn an election and obstruct the peaceful transition of power". He sued the committee and never testified.On December 19, 2022, the Committee voted unanimously to refer Trump and the lawyer John Eastman to the U.S. Department of Justice for prosecution. Recommended charges for Trump were obstruction of an official proceeding; conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to make a false statement; and attempts to "incite," "assist" or "aid or comfort" an insurrection. Obstruction and conspiracy to defraud were also the recommended charges for Eastman.Some members of Trump's inner circle had cooperated with the committee, while others defied it. For refusing to testify, Steve Bannon was sentenced to prison but remains free on appeal; Peter Navarro was indicted; Congress held Mark Meadows and Dan Scavino in criminal contempt (though the Justice Department said it would not prosecute them); and the committee referred four lawmakers—Representatives McCarthy, Jordan, Biggs, and Perry—to the House Ethics Committee.The Committee interviewed over a thousand people and reviewed over a million documents. On December 22, 2022, it published a 845-page final report (including the executive summary released three days earlier). That week, the committee also began publishing interview transcripts.The Committee was formed through a largely party-line vote on July 1, 2021 and will dissolve when the newly elected House takes office on January 3, 2023. Its membership was a point of significant political contention. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, who had both voted in January 2021 to impeach Trump for incitement of insurrection, were the only Republicans serving on the committee, and the Republican National Committee censured them for their participation.
